Journalists' Union Warns Members Prepared To Strike Over BBC Cuts
- The Guardian, Monday, September 14, 2015 9:45 AM

The statement is the strongest indication yet that the BBC will face stiff opposition from the union if it decides news programming will be pared back to help make up the £700m cost of providing free licence fees to the over-75s.
