JOURNALISTS on the Rotherham Advertiser voted yesterday to go on strike after their union representative was selected for compulsory redundancy.
Management at the newspaper announced that one member of the 14-strong editorial staff would be made redundant and on Wednesday named National Union of Journalists (NUJ) rep Phil Turner as the victim.
In a unanimous vote, the NUJ chapel backed a 24-hour strike next Thursday.
NUJ general secretary Michelle Stanistreet said: “It couldn’t be clearer to Phil, his colleagues and to the rest of the NUJ that a long-standing, effective and well-respected rep who has consistently stuck up for his chapel and their collective principles has been deliberately targeted through this redundancy exercise.”
