STV Journalists Strike Again Over Pay Dispute
STV journalists strike for a second time as pay negotiations stall, disrupting major news programs.
- STV journalists across Scotland walked out for 24 hours, demanding a 6% pay rise to match inflation.
- The strike coincided with STV's annual general meeting, where union representatives confronted the board.
- Management remains open to dialogue but deems the 6% pay increase demand unrealistic and unaffordable.
- Alternative programming replaced affected news shows, including the flagship STV News At Six.
- Nearly half of the NUJ members voted to accept an enhanced offer, which included a bonus for all staff.
