Scotsman staff to ballot for strike action over 'intolerable stress' of cuts

   NUJ says staffing levels at Johnston Press titles including Edinburgh
--

   Staff at the Scotsman are to ballot for industrial action over the
   “intolerable stress” caused by struggling to publish with skeleton
   levels of staff.

--
   “We are working with a skeleton staff,” said one employee. “The current
   workload is intolerable and that staffing levels are already far too
   low. This inevitably means increased stress and a poor quality product
   produced at the end of it.”

--
   not worked efficiently at any other similar Johnston Press centre we
   want the company to look first at the current woeful staffing situation
   which is causing intolerable stress to be put on all staff,” said the
   employee.
