ITV production workers, journalists and other staff will stage a 24-hour strike and protest outside the TV giant’s annual meeting today in a dispute over pay.
The walkout could threaten flagship programmes, including Good Morning Britain presented by Susanna Reid.
Members of the technicians’ union Bectu and the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) voted in favour of industrial action by 67 per cent and 77 per cent in protest at a 2 per cent pay award.
Unions have been pressing for a bigger wage increase in view of the TV company’s profits.
Bectu general secretary Gerry Morrissey said staff were “very unhappy” with the pay offer.
“There is a huge disparity between the pay offered to staff and the bonus package to executives as well as shareholder dividends,” he said.
- The NUJ is asking all its London members to protest outside the ITV AGM at 10am at the QEII Centre in Broad Sanctuary, Westminster.
