Usual business at The Press
7:19am Thursday 22nd May 2008
SOME journalists at The Press are staging a five-day walk-out from today.
Members of the National Union of Journalists - mainly reporters and sub-editors - have called the strike after refusing a three-per-cent pay offer.
The strike involves only journalists who are members of the union.
The Press will continue to be published as normal throughout the dispute and it will still be packed with local news, views, pictures, features and information.
All other departments, including advertising, printing, newspaper sales and delivery staff, will be working as normal.
