Journalists in Leeds working on the Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening Post have voted for strike action over job cuts.
They are to hold two four-day strikes, the first will start in a week's time.
NUJ members on the two Johnston Press titles decided to hold a ballot after the company said three photographers faced compulsory redundancy. The union said today the vote in the secret postal ballot was 109 for strike action – three against.
Chris Morley, NUJ Northern regional organiser, said: “The Yorkshire Post and Evening Post chapels have given a lead to all NUJ members fighting against unnecessary and unworkable job cuts.”
The NUJ chapel at the Derry Journal, owned by Johnston Press, is also balloting for industrial action.
