Nine faces newspaper strike over pay dispute

Nine’s ongoing dispute with its Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and Australian Financial Review journalists is likely to escalate, with employees voting to walk off the job should management not return with an improved offer.

Media director for the Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance, the industry trade union, Adam Portelli told Mumbrella: “Members are seeking a meaningfully improved offer from the company that reflects Nine’s significant profits and respects the essential role that these journalists perform.”

Journalists at the Nine titles have voted to strike, should an improved offer not be tabled.
