DC Thomson directors awarded themselves £50m in dividends over the past two years while staff received consecutive 0% pay 'awards'.

National Union of Journalists (NUJ) members working for National World have branded the company’s refusal to enter into pay talks pending a takeover as damaging to staff’s morale and financial security.

The NUJ has urged Reach plc to fairly remunerate journalists at the company following its announcement of £102.3m in operating profits achieved in 2024.

Following months of pay talks, a 3.75% agreement for editorial staff has been agreed for 2025 and an increase of 3.5% for 2026, with agreement to review next year’s deal should annual inflation reach 3.5% or beyond.

Too many job adverts do not include the salary, and research shows this disadvantages women, disabled workers and Black and minority ethnic workers.

Newspapers and Agencies Industrial Council (NAIC) reps met to discuss priority issues spanning organising to pay.

Thursday 7 November is ‘Disability Pay Gap Day’, the day when the average disabled person stops getting paid compared to the average non-disabled person.

Registration for the Newspapers and Agencies Council national summit on 9 November from 11am-4pm is now open.

The union has called on the publisher to ensure a fair pay regime for its journalists following publication of the company’s group accounts revealing pre-tax profits of £34m.

The union and Springer Nature have issued a joint statement as the two sides reach an agreement.
