Unite Printers Strike In Glasgow

Strike action at Glasgow Herald and Times


More than 140 clerical and production staff at The Herald and Evening Times newspapers are taking part in a 24-hour strike over pay.
Unite said members had been forced to take action after the newspapers' parent company, Newsquest, insisted on a pay freeze.
The firm's sites in Renfield Street and Cambuslang are affected by the walkout.
The 24-hour strike action got under way at 0800 BST and is due to be repeated on a weekly basis if a settlement is not reached.
Norman King Unite Regional officer accused Newsquest of hitting workers' pay despite being profitable.
"Newsquest is the only newspaper publishing company which wants a two-year wage freeze," he said.
"Talks broke down last week and members had no other option but to take action as a wage freeze would be a wage cut with inflation running about 4%.
"Last year we went through a redundancy phase which saw job restructuring and people doing more work, but the staff reward for this is zero as the company makes more profit."
