I don't think there's any other unions for journalists. Membership of the NUJ is fairly good within newsrooms, one big thing it gives it's members is the NUJ Press Card. They also help out with legal and ethical issues regarding reporting.
It's a very strong union
The question was about members of other unions refusing to cross an NUJ picket line - if the Director is in BECTU can they refuse?
