A pay dispute, which led to strike action at seven national museums in Wales last month, had not been resolved as Museums Journal went to press.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) took industrial action at institutions including the St Fagans National History Museum and National Museum Cardiff, which was closed by a strike for the first time in its 101-year history.
A spokesman for the union said 330 PCS members out of 662 staff at National Museum Wales supported the strike.
According to National Museum Wales management, PCS rejected an average pay rise offer for 2007-08 of 5 per cent. It said most of the union's 260 members would receive more than 3.5 per cent - and some up to 8.15 per cent. The Prospect and FDA unions accepted the offer.
But a spokesman for the PCS, which represents administrative and executive staff, said the average figure was below inflation. "No member of staff has received an increase of more than 3.5 per cent and most have received between zero and two per cent."
Further talks are scheduled to take place.
