Museum pay ' out of touch’
The chairman of ~ the Canterbury Museum Trust Board (Mr P. J. R. Skellerup) was out of touch with the seriousness of inadequate salaries being paid to some staff at the mu- [ seum, said Mr J. E. Cornhill. 1 Mr Cornhill, secretary of [ the Canterbury region of the Public Service Association, [ has been negotiating for: salary increases for curators l and preparators at the museum. Mr Skellerup had said that l only a small group of staff were concerned with the progress of salary negotiations. Mr Cornhill said that although a staff liaison committee had been formed recently to try to accelerate negotiations, progress was discouraging, as were statements from the adminis- [ tration. Perhaps the most disturbing feature was that the museum had lost highly skilled and talented staff who had resigned to get better-paid: jobs elsewhere, said Mr Corn-I hill.
