Guardian: Telegraph strike threat on hold
April 16th, 2008 | No Comments | Posted by Oliver Luft in Editors' pick, Jobs, Journalism, Newspapers
The Telegaph’s NUJ chapel have postponed the threat of staff strike action as they wait for news of their employers plans on flexible working.
According to the Guardian, staff at the paper are again smarting from a round of quick-fire dismissals - a chapel meeting yesterday was reported as being ‘furious’ as staff railed against the treatment of colleagues.
Yet journalists decided not to do anything ahead of an NUJ meeting with Telegraph Media Group reps next week.

Express Newspapers staff plan three-day strike
Journalists at the Express newspapers have postponed today’s planned industrial action in favour of a three-day strike starting on April 22, the Press Gazette reports.
The union has described suspension of today’s action as an ‘act of good will’ and has urged the paper’s proprietors to open up talks to avert further strikes.
The 24-hour strike planned for this Friday will go ahead, as staff continue to campaign against a pay offer of 3 per cent.

Express Newspapers staff vote for strike action
Journalists at the Daily Express, Sunday Express and Daily Star are to undertake a series of 24-hour strikes over pay.
Strike action - scheduled for April 3, 10 and 17 - was approved at a National Union of Journalists (NUJ) meeting last night and is a reaction to ‘a below inflation pay offer’ - 3 per cent - made by the papers’ management to staff.
A statement from the NUJ also expressed concerns over owner Richard Desmond’s involvement with editorial decision making at the titles.
“We want the editors to be left to edit, free from commercial interference that puts opportunities to boost circulation ahead of journalistic integrity. Our titles need real investment, instead we face continuous rounds of budget cuts and inadequate staffing levels. Now we’re being told to take a below inflation pay offer and be grateful we’re not facing more redundancies this year - we’ve simply had enough,” said Michelle Stanistreet, NUJ President and union representative at the Express.
