Please support strikers at The Independent

From Molly Cooper on the NUJ Reps email list...

>>> NUJ members at The Independent / Independent on Sunday have rejected a new offer from management and will strike on Budget Day in a dispute over pay.

Journalists voted for strike action after the breakdown of pay talks at a union meeting on Monday. Following further talks over the past 24 hours a new offer was tabled by management. NUJ members have rejected the new offer as “inadequate” and confirmed plans for the Budget Day walkout.

The chapel at the Independent would really appreciate messages of support from fellow NUJ members, to boost their efforts when the take strike action on Budget Day, the 22nd March.

Messages of support can be sent to the MOC Kate Simon. Her email address is k.simon@independent.co.uk.
