UNIONS OPPOSE CUTS AT ITN
UNIONS at ITN will not accept cuts in quality or jobs as a result of a new ITV contract.
ITN announced on November 12 that they were seeking volunteers for redundancy following the cut of more than 25 per cent in the price ITV will pay for their national news under a new contract.
More than 100 jobs are under threat - BECTU and NUJ representatives are to meet ITN management on November 13.
ITN unions have declared that they won't accept a decline in the quality of news, nor compulsory job losses, as a result of the terms of its new contract with the ITV companies.
Last week the ITV Network renewed their five-yearly contract with ITN at a price of £33 million a year.
The previous contract was worth £45 million a year. Ten years ago it was £80 million. The renewed contract was won in competition with a five-company consortium that included Sky News, which is understood to have offered to take the contract for £27 million a year.
Sharon Elliott, BECTU's Official for ITV, said the unions would be approaching the ITC to ensure that the ITV companies kept to the obligation in their licences to provide quality news. (CD)
