Glorious summer for these strikers of York

Journalists on the York Press and Gazette and Herald weekly papers will be staging five days of strike action from tomorrow (Thursday May 22).
The 34 staff who work on the Newsquest owned titles voted to take their stand when offered three per cent on pay - less than colleagues in Glasgow and Essex.
Please support the chapel by sending messages of support to nujyork@gmail.com.
You can also send messages of protest to managing director, Steve Hughes, at steve.hughes@ycp.co.uk
If you or your union branch can afford to support the chapel’s efforts with a donation, cheques should be made payable to "NUJ Newsquest York Chapel" and sent to the National Union of Journalists, Arthur House, Chorlton Street, Manchester, M1 3FH.
You can find out the background and keep up to date with the dispute by logging on to the chapel’s own website at www.nujyork.blogspot.com
