BBC Scotland notes that according to STV, less than half of their journalists are NUJ members and that BECTU members had accepted the pay offer.

NUJ at STV last voted for such action when we saw drastic cuts to their news operations (STV2 closed, Edinburgh bulletins and STV News Tonight axed) six years ago - though a strike was prevented when the company ruled out compulsory redundancies.

IIRC, John MacKay is one of the senior union officials within the Glasgow newsroom.

I notice that since the announced closure of the Nine, they have just been on single headed pres. expecting mass exodus of talent?

We are getting Border News during GMB this morning. One assumes this is due to the strikes at STV.
