Title: UNUJ / BECTU ballot
Post by Administrator on Jul 30^th, 2014, 3:36pm

"The Press Gazette" covers the forthcoming ballot of NUJ and BECTU members over strike action regarding job cuts at the BBC, particularly in World Service and BBC News.

Head of BBC News James Harding earlier this month announced that 415 jobs were to be lost across his division. He said 500 people working for BBC News and the World Service would be affected and that 266 new posts would be created.
