Uncertainty over job loss numbers as TMAG faces staff cut

The article reports conflicting claims regarding potential job cuts at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG). The Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) alleges that 19.7 full-time-equivalent jobs will be cut by the end of the financial year, either through redundancies or natural attrition. However, a government spokesperson and Deputy Premier Guy Barnett deny these claims, stating that TMAG is not required to reduce its workforce by 30 percent. While the union suggests the cuts could affect various roles, the government argues that broader departmental restructuring, including a 250-job reduction in the reformed Building Tasmania, does not necessarily mean TMAG will lose 19 positions. The exact number of job losses remains unclear, with no definitive confirmation provided by either side.
