The NUJ said the industrial action was the first time in the Journal's 251-year history that staff had gone on strike. Earlier this month, NUJ members at National World, which now owns Morton Newspapers, voted 78% in favour of the strike action. Mr Dooley added: "This is a clarion call to this employer but also to anyone who cares about local news.""It is important that we have journalists that can pay their bills - some can't at the moment."Ian McGuinness, NUJ Irish organiser, said members do not want to be on the picket line but have been forced to this point
He said a big reason for their members taking to the picket line is the "years and years of cuts at the National World".
