Journalists at business information company LexisNexis are to take three days of strike action in protest at a 2.2 per cent pay offer.

The National Union of Journalists claims to have nearly 100 members at the publisher and they are set to walk out on the 19,25 and 26 of August.

NUJ chapel rep at LexisNexis Sylvia Courtnage said: ‘It is clear that members understand the need to demonstrate to the company the depth of feeling. Many have had to take on extra work over recent months, yet there seems to have been little tangible reward for our efforts.”
