Age columnist on strike over pay cut
The Age’s columnist Catherine Deveny has said she won’t file another column until her pay dispute with the paper is resolved.
In a posting on feminism blog The Dawn Chorus, she said: “Yes I am on strike but not… for a rise but have been fighting a massive decrease for six months.”
She added: “The column has not been axed. I have told them that I am not filing ’til the issue is resolved. Enough’s enough.”
Paul Ramadge, the paper’s editor, told ABC radio: “Well, there are some discussions about is there a contract or not, and those are ongoing and it’s not fair to go into any more detail than that. It started and it still sits on the issue of money.”
Catherine’s column is excellent. I hope it’s back soon.
