The union says it comes in the latest round of industrial action over pay - which is expected to cause cancellation and 'severe disruption' to the channel's news bulletins.The NUJ chapel voted for a third day of action on Wednesday, May 1, to coincide with STV’s annual general meeting.
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. "But at the top of the organisation, Simon Pitts expects his six-figure salary to be rubber-stamped by shareholders, even while earning far more than the director general of the BBC, who runs an organisation 40 times bigger.A spokesperson for STV News said: "With further talks scheduled to take place on Monday, it's disappointing that the NUJ's focus is on confirming further action rather than achieving a resolution.
