Newspaper staff to ballot on industrial action over pay date change

Staff at The Herald, Sunday Herald and Evening Times in Glasgow are to ballot on industrial action over a change to the date they are paid.

Owners Newsquest have said that, from October, staff will be paid on the 26th of every month rather than the 20th.

But some staff are unhappy with the plan and the National Union of Journalists says it will cause widespread financial difficulties.
