Quote:
NUJ members voted to take strike action next Wednesday 23 July – coinciding with the opening of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow – in their fight for a decent pay rise.
NUJ reps from across the BBC met to discuss the result of the ballot for industrial action over pay and appraisals which has been running over the past 3 weeks. Members voted overwhelmingly for strike action – with 77.2 per cent of members voting for industrial action including strike action and 89.5 per cent voting yes for action short of strike.
The strike action will take place from 11.59am to 11.59pm on Wednesday 23 July, and will affect all parts of the BBC. The action will be held jointly with members of Bectu and Unite. A work to rule will start from midnight Thursday 24 July, coupled with an appraisals boycott.
