UPDATE: Nine management ‘prepared to meet’ with MEAA once journalists return to work
Nine’s striking journalists are set to return to work on Wednesday and will head straight into negotiations with the network’s management.
Staff from Nine Publishing’s suite of publications – The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian Financial Review, Brisbane Times, and WAtoday – walked off the job last Friday, “taking a stand for newsrooms that reflect the diversity of the communities they are reporting for, for ethical and transparent use of Artificial Intelligence, and for better wages”.
“A profitable division of a profitable company should not be cutting jobs,” WAtoday writer Emma Young said at Friday’s strike.
Sneesby will be studied by MBAs for years in how not to handle crisis Comms as a CEO.
Dont forget – he stayed at a five star hotel in Paris and holidayed in Greece with his family!
Honestly, it’s just been a disaster of management. Never seen trust break down so badly. Tory Maguire will have an impossible job to build trust back with staff, it’s just totally gone.
