FT Journalists Call Off Strike After New Pension Offer
- The Guardian, Thursday, February 4, 2016 7 AM
Financial Times journalists have called off a 24-hour strike after receiving a new pension offer from management, ending the prospect of what would have been the first strike in more than 30 years. FT staff that are members of the National Union of Journalists have been locked in talks with the management, mediated by Acas, for the last two days. The acrimonious battle, which the NUJ has branded a GBP4m “pension robbery”, has been running since Japanese group Nikkei’s GBP844m takeover of FT Group last year.
