NUJ delegate meeting: In Brief
Journalists' union NUJ tackles austerity with calls for a general strike and hits back against state surveillance, discriminatory language and racism
AUSTERITY: Journalists agreed yesterday to step up the campaign against Con-Dem austerity by supporting the inauguration of people’s assemblies across the country and backing calls for a general strike.
The NUJ will remind the TUC that a one-day general strike is still relevant and should be pursued as part of the fight against government cuts to jobs and pay.
Delegates also agreed to campaign to support co-ordinated strikes with other unions.
