BBC employees in England who are members of a journalism union have voted in favor of a strike that would be the first major industrial action at the British public broadcaster since 2010. It comes amid a debate about changes that the public broadcaster has unveiled to its local content strategy in England.
The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) said on Tuesday that in a postal vote, in which 69 percent of union members made their opinions heard, 83 percent came out in favor of a strike.
The walkout could also affect coverage of the May coronation of King Charles III, NUJ members have said. But a union meeting place later on Tuesday was set to decide on a detailed course of action.
