“Frankly, it’s an insult to offer a 2% to our members who were killed when the situation became difficult for ITV,” complained Michelle Stanistreet, general secretary of the union of journalists NUJ.
The day of 24-hour strike may affect live programming from the main commercial channel in the UK, including newsletters and popular morning.
The strike coincides with the annual meeting of the board of directors of ITV, which is held in a conference hall near the Westminster Parliament.
The audiovisual industry unions have called a demonstration at the entrance of the pavilion and form pickets in other cities in Britain.
ITV has recognized that the current level of salaries in the company is situated 4% below the cost of living and the increase provided this year does not correspond to the increase in the last decade of expenditure on housing, transport and food, and other basic needs.
“My members will not accept this paltry pay when we know that ITV is able to give the chief executive, Adam Crozier, a bonus of 8.4 million pounds, “said Stanistreet.
The employees demand a” fair wage “which, they say, ITV can afford given the improvement of 6% in advertising contracts.
