E tū members at media company Stuff are striking on Thursday afternoon. …
Wellington-based journalist and E tū delegate Tom Hunt said the company seemed to be showing contempt for staff.
“Stuff journalists have taken hit after hit to get Sinead Boucher’s companythrough hard times. We accepted no increases during Covid and effectively nothing last year, because we believed the company when it told us times were tough.
“To now be offered an insulting pay rise, and to see the company trying to split us into different collective agreements, is disgraceful. It shows they plan to keep screwing us for years to come.
That’s strong words. Stuff fires back:
“The statement from E tū contains a number of deliberate untruths. Since Covid, we have given our staff pay rises every year which are in line with the market, there has been no ‘secret payday’ and no one has been ‘screwed’. It is disappointing to see two journalists mischaracterise the issues in this manner.”
So Stuff is saying two of their own journalists are saying things that are untrue and are mischaracterising events. This is not a good way to sell the quality of your journalism!
