Watch out for strike action at the Mirror & STV
JOURNALISTS at the Mirror have voted for strike action in a dispute over job losses, unreasonable workloads, and the use of “artificial intelligence”.
And minutes after the print edition went to press we had the results of a ballot at Scottish television station STV on action over cuts: 94% in favour of a strike and 98% for action short of strike on a turnout of 82%.
Freelances have no right to strike in UK law, but they may find themselves unavailable if offered shifts on days when NUJ members are on strike. Any NUJ freelance who suffers a loss of income as a result of turning down shifts offered during a strike should contact the NUJ chapel (workplace-based unit of NUJ organisation) for that media group.
