GONUJ has informed GMG of our intention to take part in disruptive industrial action short of a strike in the New Year. If there are no improvements to mitigations or progress on governance reforms, GONUJ will vote to set substantive new strike dates for later in January. (7/8).

GONUJ are seeking fundamental reforms to governance and strong protections for Observer and Guardian colleagues. While GMG has offered some mitigations, they don’t go in any way far enough to protect the terms and conditions of all Observer and Guardian staff affected (6/8).

We were shocked that the Scott Trust chose to approve the deal while our members were on strike. Announcing it a week before Christmas is further evidence of the contempt with which the Scott Trust and GMG hold the pledge maintained for many decades of “living our values”. (5/8).

We also believe it represents a serious blow to the Guardian, ceding the UK news agenda to the right wing media at a time when liberal voices are needed more than ever. Historic industrial action, backed by a 93% mandate, laid bare the strength of feeling against this deal (4/8).

GONUJ are appalled at the decision to approve the sale of the Observer, in a deal we think will be disastrous for the future of the world’s oldest Sunday newspaper and for liberal journalism. (3/8).

Guardian and Observer staff striking to stop the sale of the Observer to Tortoise Media lost up to four days’ pay in order to do so. The link to donate to the NUJ’s Guardian and Observer staff hardship fund is here: .(2/8).

As we head into the Christmas break, GONUJ want to thank everyone who has supported us, with donations, statements, letters, reposts, and of course joining us on our strike days. Your solidarity is so much appreciated. Here's an update on where things stand. 🧵 (1/8)

From @thetimes (£). "Tortoise is a thinly capitalised vanity project in search of a commercial model. Buying The Observer will give it a reason to tap backers for millions more. The Guardian is paying too much for a stake that isn’t big enough. ".

By failing to rid itself entirely of The Observer, the Scott Trust stays exposed to the Sunday paper’s woes — and takes on Tortoise’s as well
