Breaking: UK Journalists Embark On Strike Over High Cost Of Living, 3% Pay Rise by bennybuhari: 2:44pm On Aug 31, 2022 |
Journalists in the United Kingdom, under the aegis of National Union of Journalists (NUJ) are currently embarking on a peaceful protest demanding higher wages as cost of living continue to soar. The protesting journalists are from Mirror, Express, Daily Record, Sunday Mail, Manchester Evening News, Liverpool Echo, Bristol Post, Birmingham Mail, Leicester Mercury, The Journal etc. According to them, they were offered a 3% pay rise by the parent company Reach PLC, Britain’s biggest regional publisher, which they said was not enough to cope with the cost of living crisis, especially energy bills as they are working from home. Speaking with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Corey Bedford, Father of the Chapel for Leicester Mercury said over a thousand journalists across UK are taking part in the protest. He said "This protest is basically about our company, Reach PLC offering only three percent payrise to its journalists for support across the board". " This comes after increase in cost of living prices, this comes after energy bills have shored up and the company is now making its staff work from home". "So obviously we absorb all the energy increases and we have to pay more because our company is forcing us to work from home". The NUJ which rejected the 3 percent payrise is calling for an 8.5% rise. https://independent.ng/breaking-uk-journalists-protest-3-pay-rise-high-cost-of-living/

This can not be completely true when Sky news and BBC are still live. The highly hypocritical UK media and journalists were part of the problem of using propaganda to stereotype others as inferior, paper up their predorminantly cosmetic, easy free money credit, quantitative easing society economy instead of challenging it vigorously whereas their own governments are bags of garbage. In fact, the current ineffective UK leader, Boris Johnson, a Journalist, came from their constituency so UK Journalists strike is nothing but shameless advertisement, bollocks! check my signature for free stuffs! |
