The NUJ has spoken out against reported pension scheme cuts at Newsquest.

According to a report by the union, the scheme, which is already restricted to existing staff, could now be cut. Staff were apparently informed by letter over the weekend.

Journalism.co.uk has attempted to speak to Newsquest about the allegations, but has so far been unable to get a response and told those who can comment are unavailable.

The NUJ statement follows an ongoing dispute with the BBC over the broadcaster’s proposed changes to its pension scheme.
