STV journalists are on the picket line outside the broadcaster’s head office as shareholders arrive for an annual general meeting .
The NUJ previously said that Wednesday’s AGM would see STV shareholders asked to approve a new pay packet for Pitt which again outstrips Davie’s.In a letter to shareholders, striking journalists said: “Today is the second time that the company's inaction will take STV News programmes off air and almost all of the website news stories won't be published.
“This year is different – reflecting the real struggles the journalists who have produced the top rated Scottish news programme for the last five years have in living their lives. “We’re really disappointed that we’re having to go on strike again but also take our message directly to the shareholders, directly to the board, and directly to the chief executive.
“We remain open to further dialogue but the NUJ’s claim for an above-inflation pay increase of 6% – nearly twice the current level of inflation – is unrealistic and unaffordable.
