The Scottish Trades Union Council (STUC) expressed grave concern at today’s announcement by The Herald and Times Group making all its journalists and publishing staff redundant and invited them to re-apply for their jobs.
STUC General Secretary Grahame Smith said
“These forced changes by the Herald and Times Group and the manner of their implementation is very worrying. It will undoubtedly cause severe problems within the group and cause major worry for the employees and their families. This further diminution of the already overstretched capacity of Scottish journalism is of extreme concern in our democracy.”
