There must be some merit here but, wow. Another complicated court case.
Museums: Tate Worker Wants Compensation for Cold Conditions:
“At five storeys high and with more than 300 square metres of floor area, Tate Modern‘s Turbine Hall is an undeniably tricky place to keep warm.
But, according to one former member of staff at the London gallery, the temperatures in the vast exhibition space were so low that they contributed to a serious deterioration in her health.
Elizabeth Andrews, a gallery supervisor, has launched a claim for compensation against the Tate, saying that the cold, among a series of other factors, meant she became increasingly ill and eventually had to go on long-term sick leave.
On occasions working in the Turbine Hall, where the electricity generators were housed before the former Bankside power station was decommissioned in 1981, she would wear a shirt, jumper and long coat but ‘I was still cold’, Andrews told an employment tribunal yesterday.”
