Description
Staff at the Telegraph Group are to ballot for industrial action following the news that 133 jobs are being cut as part of its newspapers' move to a fully integrated newsroom. The job cuts will comprise of 54 journalists, 24 administrators and 55 staff from 'other departments'.
The group is due to inform staff this weekend of the jobs cuts and the National Union of Journalists called a meeting earlier today. The cuts are part of the Telegraph titles' move to seven-day production in a fully integrated newsroom, with print and online journalists working together.
According to sources, staff will know by the beginning of next week, once the letters have arrived, whether they are being 'let go' or whether their jobs are under threat.
Telegraph bosses are understood to want the whole process to be completed within three weeks.
