STV News bulletins to be axed from screens again as staff walk out in pay row

STV News bulletins will be axed from screens again as staff walk out for a second time amid the ongoing pay row.

The NUJ is seeking a 6 per cent rise for members to keep pace with inflation after a record cost-of-living crisis last year. Nick McGowan-Lowe , NUJ national organiser Scotland said “The STV board claim that stringy below-inflation pay rises for journalists are all they can afford, but when it comes to executive pay, there’s no such scrimping and saving. STV’s bulletins have been the most watched in Scotland for the past five years, outperforming the BBC, even though STV journalists are paid far less than their counterparts at the BBC or ITV.

I worked extremely hard to get to a position where I could buy my property, but I am now in a position where it is becoming difficult to afford. I live in fear of unexpected costs, or repairs, because I simply cannot afford them.

“We work so hard and put in as much as possible every day, obviously, because we love our jobs, but they don't appreciate it. People leave and it is just, ‘Thanks very much and see you later.’. I have got family to fall back on and move back in with, but not everyone has that.”
