Vatican Museums staff start unprecedented legal action over labour conditions

Forty-nine Vatican Museums employees have started an unprecedented labour dispute over what they say are unfair and poor conditions at their workplace, which could lead to an embarrassing lawsuit against Pope Francis' administration.
The workers, mostly museum attendants, have sent a petition to the Vatican's "Governatorato," the body that administers the Vatican City State, lamenting rules that cause "labour conditions that violate their dignity," lawyer Laura Sgrò said, who is representing them on Monday.
They include extra work hours paid at lower rates and insufficient health and safety provisions, Sgrò said.
The 49 workers, out of a total of around 700 people employed at the Vatican Museums, are all Italian citizens and have been employed at the Vatican for many years.
Unions are not allowed in Vatican City. A spokesman for the Vatican Museums declined to comment.

Godliness is not paying living wages or benefits , yet the amount of gold and other priceless items is unprecedented. Sure god is good it’s man who’s greedy even when they wear a collar.
