Herald and Times to hold another ballot

NUJ Members to be Balloted Again

The National Union of Journalists, having conducted one ballot of its members at The Herald group of newspapers, such as The Herald and Sunday Herald, is to conduct a second, following a breakdown in talks yesterday with management.
The union had hoped the talks would result in management agreeing to abandon plans to shift the date staff are paid. But despite the ballot returning a 93.8 per cent vote in favour of some form of action, such as a work to rule, against the date shift (with 86.5 per cent in favour of strike action), management were seemingly not prepared to budge.
