Journalists on Scotland’s Daily Record and Sunday Mail are to strike on Saturday over job cuts. NUJ members say they are opposing management forcing through around 20 compulsory redundancies.
In January parent company Trinity Mirror announced plans for seventy job cuts and the merger of the Glasgow-based titles under one editor-in-chief.
More than 40 volunteers put themselves forward for redundancy, but the NUJ claims the company wants more cuts.
In a postal ballot for industrial action, NUJ members voted 85 percent for strike action and 90 percent for action short of a strike. The chapel has given notice of a one-day strike beginning at midnight on Friday/Saturday, followed by a work-to-rule and another 24 hour strike on Friday April 10.
