The NUJ blamed STV, saying the company refused to make an improved offer on pay. A previous indicative ballot showed 84 per cent of members were in favour of strike action on a turnout of 94 per cent. Despite the union threat, the Scottish Express understands the Euro 2024 coverage on STV is safe regardless of strike action. NUJ members at STV, which has been contacted for comment, last voted for industrial action in December 2022 when a last-minute deal by STV management avoided strikes. STV has developed contingency plans which would minimise any impact on our audience should NUJ members vote for strike action."
