Newsquest journalists in South London are to strike again this week in their continuing dispute over redundancies and in support of quality local journalism.
The strike begins Monday June 27 and is due to end at midnight on Thursday June 30.
NUJ negotiator Jenny Lennox said: “We’ve had a very successful two-day strike last week, and it is worth noting that a dozen journalists have joined the union since the dispute began. This reflects the deep anger which journalists employed by Newsquest at their bosses’ determination to avoid consulting with staff on the future of their papers.”
The NUJ strikers had previously adopted a unanimous vote of no confidence in their top management after a company decision to make an unspecified number of editorial staff redundant while the group’s titles continue to make substantial profits.
The strikers keep journalists and readers informed of developments through a special strike blog
