Workers at Nine Network take to the streets of Sydney and Melbourne to begin their protest.
The strike comes after a series of layoffs from the Nine Entertainment Group and closures in a multitude of publications they owned. "I was definitely feeling disappointed already with my pay. And we had been told that no-one would be getting a pay rise, maybe around May-June. And I was pretty miffed at that so I was already looking at different work outside of journalism because I thought I won't be able to get good pay in media."
Workers at Network Ten, the Seven West Group and other media organisations in Australia have also been hit by layoffs this year. The Bargaining Code was enacted by federal government in 2021 to ensure media companies can make a share of profit from stories that were re-published on social media platforms."They have been propped up by money that, frankly, was arbitrarily awarded by that Bargaining Code. If you look back on what media scholars were saying when that was announced, they said it was a bad policy. We knew this moment would come. It may be only surprising that it has happened this quickly.
Rachael Dexter of the MEAA says a healthy democracy depends on journalists bringing the news to the public.
