BBC journalists are to stage a one-day strike unless the corporation agrees to end compulsory redundancies, it was warned today.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said its members at the
corporation will walk out on February 18 and launch a work to rule from
Friday.
The action will go ahead unless talks between the two sides next week resolve a dispute over jobs.
Michelle
Stanistreet, NUJ general secretary, said: “The BBC is prepared to waste
public money on needless redundancies rather than secure redeployment
opportunities for those at risk.
”This demonstrates the
significant failures of some managers to uphold key aspects of the
redeployment agreement, let alone the spirit of the deal.
