	BBC NEWS \| In Depth \| McLeish resignation \| NUJ and newspaper lock horns
		The NUJ claim that Jack McConnell demanded that a reporter from the paper submit all copy to him to be vetted.
		NUJ Scottish Organiser Paul Holleran said Mr McConnell had called the deputy editor of the paper into his office and insisted that all future stories by the reporter involved be seen by him in advance.
		However, the NUJ Chapel at the Wishaw Press said the journalists employed at the paper were "horrified" by the statement.

		At the forefront of this malicious manipulation of facts and figures to suit a predetermined and selfish agenda are the former Chairman of the Lagos Council of the NUJ and a failed presidential candidate, Mrs.
		So when the NUJ NEC voted democratically, 28 against 16 in favour of Port Harcourt over Kaduna to host the delegates conference, nobody had Ndagene in mind because he was not a candidate then, and nobody was, except Funke who supported by Akinnola et al had been parading herself as heir apparent to Smart Adeyemi.
		NUJ is now a professional body for professionals who are qualified both academically and morally and are seen to be so, not for those who profess something that they are not.

		But Fadugba, former Lagos NUJ council chairman who contested alongside Akwu and Dike for the presidential position said she rejected the result because it did not reflect true position of the votes cast.
		According to her, members of the Nigerian Labour Congress NLC were invited to conduct the election as neutral body, but to the surprise of all, they were sidelined at the hall, only for Smart Adeyemi the immediate past president to introduce Bonny Iwuoha as the returning officer.
		According to her, Iwuoha had ceased to be a member of NUJ since he is no longer check-off paying member of the union.

	Vanguard - Vanguard Comment : NUJ at 50
		Under military rule, NUJ members were on trials, often for the flimsiest of offences, while their leaders gloried in their closeness to the military.
		Another area where the NUJ has failed woefully is in the establishment of professional standards and training for its membership.
		Perhaps it is a tribute to the NUJ leadership that the 50th anniversary of the union could not be held last year.

	NUJ conference from Guardian Unlimited: Organ Grinder
		The massed NUJ ranks duly sings happy birthday to the woman, even though many can't see her as she is too embarrassed to stand.
		The NUJ is only not clued up/representative of magazine/PR/new media issues because not enough people from those spheres of the industry are prepared to join; or if they do join, they are too lazy or too cowed by their employers to organise amongst themselves on fundamental issues like pay or accuracy.
		There's plenty of magazine staff who will run crying to the NUJ on a perceived injustice that they see as a threat to their individual position, but ask them to do some collective good, such as hand out some leaflets or take an active role in recruiting some colleagues and they'll run away even faster.

		NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear said: "What Archant is doing at the Eastern Daily Press and Norwich Evening News is shameful and clearly this attempt to hide the truth proves that they are indeed ashamed."

		It then dealt with the submission from the NUJ counsel that the agreement with the BAJ was a 'blocking' voluntary recognition agreement and that for it to be effective the union concerned "must have 'substantial' support, i.e.
		If the NUJ is right, it was said, then, as the BAJ is not as representative as the NUJ, the CAC should ignore the fact that MGN has agreed to recognise the BAJ.
		The NUJ acknowledge that there is a margin of discretion consistent with article 11, which permits Member States to establish a collective bargaining structure in order to promote orderly efficient and fair industrial relations.

	Jim Higgins: Are Journalists Often Red? (1976)
		With what some consider unseemly haste the NUJ is showing signs of becoming a trade union in the accepted sense of the word.
		Somewhat incensed, the Barnsley NUJ wrote to local trade unions suggesting that only their members should be afforded press facilities by the local Labour movement.
		It may be that there are those who view the idea of an effective NUJ with horror, but they are, no doubt, the same people who object to any effective trade unionism anywhere.

	Complete Tosh, by Neil McIntosh: More witless contributions from the NUJ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		In response to requests from members, the NUJ’s national executive spent time consulting and discussing on an initial code of conduct to be applied to this new area of media.
		Despite some of the attempts to argue that the NUJ is collectively too thick to grasp what’s going on, a great deal of the criticism seems to come down to more familiar ground.
		It’s a great tradition within the NUJ for members to publicly chastise their union in the strongest terms for all manner of stupidity.

	Media Rights Agenda...Promoting and Protecting Press Freedom and Freedom of Expression in Nigeria
		The Kwara State Council of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) on June 10 issued a statement alleging that a recent redeployment of four senior journalists from Kwara Radio and Television Corporation (KRTC) to the Ministry of Information was a case of victimization.
		The NUJ in a two-page statement signed by the Council Chairman, Alhaji Tunde Akanbi and General Secretary, Comrade Bisi Adebayo, also described the action as uncalled for considering the fact that Alhaja Amidat Yusuf Suleiman of Kwara TV had recently been deployed to the same ministry.
		In a statement signed by Dele Atunbi, the Secretary of the Council, it described the redeployment as a renewed siege on the press by the civilian administration and a calculated measure to silence the press, an action which it said it would resist.

		The NUJ has attacked Tony Blair for comments he reportedly made about the BBC over the weekend, saying his criticism of the corporation's coverage of Hurricane Katrina "exposed his contempt for public service broadcasting and the BBC in particular".
		The NUJ general secretary, Jeremy Dear, said the suggestion that the BBC's coverage had been "full of hatred for America and gloating", revealed the prime minister's "craven devotion to President Bush...

	NUJ seeks 'conscience clause' for journalists :: Freelance UK

		The NUJ President also cited the case of 70 exasperated Daily Express journalists who were driven to take their own paper to the Press Complaints Commission over a story about Roma families.
		But the complaint was rejected, and the NUJ pointed out that Express Editor Peter Hill sat on the PCC committee.

	No justice for NUJ
		In NUJ v Central Arbitration Committee and MGN Ltd, the High Court decided that the CAC was right to rule an NUJ application inadmissible, despite the fact that it had the support of a majority of the journalists in the bargaining unit.
		This individual right, said the NUJ, was breached by letting the employer decide which union to bargain with, and conversely by imposing a union on the workers about which they had not been consulted.
		If the NUJ's arguments were correct, these would not apply (contrary to the law for the last 30 years) until it was clear that the agreement had come into force or whether the union was representative of the potential membership.

		But it seems obvious that the real goal is to protect NUJ jobs and to try to maintain a separation between the “professionals” and the rest.
		It suggests that if using “witness contributions”, media organisations should validate their accuracy before publication, and that they should use material from NUJ members in preference to witness contributors wherever possible, and it includes a clause that effectively rules out the syndication of any material submitted by one of these witness contributors….
		The intention, for instance, at the heart of the NUJ’s proposed code is to protect a differentiation between the professional journalist and the amateur.
