STV News staff in Glasgow agreed to postpone tomorrow's strike amid negotiations.

The National Union of Journalists has announced workers at the company will walk out across Scotland for the second time tomorrow, on Tuesday, April 16.

They first walked out on March 28, seeking a 6% pay rise to “keep pace with inflation” during the cost-of-living crisis.They said:"Following extensive talks today aimed at resolving the current pay dispute at STV the NUJ has agreed to postpone tomorrow's planned strike pending talks resuming later this week.We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.

Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse. So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.

The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues. The ability to comment on our stories is a privilege, not a right, however, and that privilege may be withdrawn if it is abused or misused.
