Low pay in the media summit

NUJ Pay In The Media Summit 2006 -

The NUJ's Manchester Pay in the Media Summit is fast approaching and spaces are filling fast.
The summit will be focusing on issues such as equal pay, benefits and conditions in the workplace, pay systems/pay structures and regional variations, as well as planning our union-wide pay campaigns for the coming year.
Speakers from all sectors have been included to allow a wider range of members to benefit from the discussion, training and feedback that the day will provide.
So come along and find out how pay in the media is affecting your workplace.
