Around 100 BBC journalists based in the World\r\nService, BBC Monitoring, Online, and in Scotland and Wales are threatened with compulsory\r\nredundancy. The NUJ (National Union of Journalists) is to ballot members after\r\nthe BBC management refused to consider further moves to secure redeployment or\r\nfind alternative opportunities for around 100 staff. NUJ General Secretary\r\nJeremy Dear said: “For months we have\r\nbeen negotiating with the BBC and have been able to resolve most cases by\r\nagreement. But the BBC’s refusal to consider workable alternatives for around\r\n100 staff has left us with no choice but to ballot members for industrial action\r\nto defend jobs and services.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.nuj.org.uk\u002FinnerPagenuj.html?docid=2063\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.nuj.org.uk\u002FinnerPagenuj.html?docid=2063\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM5\"> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"discreet\">\u003Cem>This\r\narticle was published in the Collective Bargaining Newsletter.
