NUJ FFG: recently paid rates for Whatever / Reporting / all sectors

Whatever / Reporting / all sectors
recently paid rates - updated 2009-11-10

The following are not suggested rates. They are a selection of rates recently reported to the Rate for the Job service - if any were found for Whatever / Reporting / all sectors. Please note that these are self-reported; they are rates that the reporter was not dissatisfied with, but standards of dissatisfaction vary; and that a computer sorted them on the basis of these self-reports so some randomness is possible.

The second figure, where given, is for additional rights (use on the web, etc).
