Trinity Mirror has told 24 journalists at the Daily Record and Sunday Mail in Glasgow that they have been chosen for redundancy.
NUJ members on the newspapers have already given notice of a strike on Friday over Trinity Mirror’s proposal to shed 70 jobs and merge production of the two titles. A 24-hour strike was held last Saturday.
James Doherty, NUJ president who works in Glasgow, said: "It's a sorry day for Scottish journalism - and our role in a healthy democracy - when our members are being escorted from the building with boxes and bags of their personal belongings."
The company announced proposals in February to cut 70 out of 276 editorial staff. According to the NUJ, that number has since been reduced to 57.
