Journalists to stage fresh strikes in pay dispute
Members of the National Union of Journalists at National World will walk out on September 22 and 25.
Hundreds of journalists at a leading publisher are to stage fresh strikes in a dispute over pay.
Members of the National Union of Journalists at National World will walk out on September 22 and 25 following a stoppage earlier this week.
The journalists, who work on titles including The Scotsman, Yorkshire Post, Sunderland Echo and Lancashire Post, are currently working to rule in protest at a 4.5% pay rise.
Laura Davison, NUJ national organiser, said: “We know National World can afford to revise its pay package for staff, ensuring journalists can afford to remain at the jobs they rightly take pride in.”
