The action follows an announcement of proposed changes involving approximately 70 full-time employee positions in Sydney and Melbourne working in editorial production, Life Media and photographic areas of the company’s Australian Publishing Media division.
A spokesperson said the company is disappointed that some journalists have chosen to take this unlawful action.
“The company had commenced a meaningful consultation process about the proposed changes and has planned further briefings with affected employees and their representatives,” he said.
