NUJ members at STV News have walked out across the country as they campaign for a 6% pay rise. The broadcaster said it remains open to 'further dialogue' but branded the union's campaign 'unrealistic and unaffordable'.

STV's flagship news programme has once again been pulled from the schedule as journalists at the Scottish broadcaster strike for a second time in a row over pay. Members of the National Union of Journalists at STV News walked out on Wednesday after rejecting the company's latest pay offer. The union workers previously took action in March amid a campaign for a 6% pay rise.

'All members are asking for is a fair pay award to stop wages being further eroded by inflation. STV seem happy for their staff to endure a real-terms annual pay cut.' The NUJ workers were due to strike for a second time in April, but that was called off following last-minute talks and a new proposal. The union staff have now rejected that offer, but other workers at the company have agreed a deal.
