£100 to work before 10am?

Telegraph editors brand striking staff 'luddites'

Daily and Sunday Telegraph editors Will Lewis and Patience Wheatcroft have accused some of their staff of being "luddites" for refusing to work before 10am without an extra payment of £100.
The editors wrote in separate but similar letters to their staff that the payment, demanded by NUJ members, was "ridiculous", and also urged them not to join the planned strike next Tuesday.
