NUJ accuses Vice UK of 'old-fashioned union-busting ruse'

Media company had offered to set up an internal committee rather than recognise a union for its staff members

Vice UK has been accused of an "old-fashioned union-busting ruse" by the head of the National Union of Journalists after the web-based company rejected a push for recognition from staff.

The NUJ general secretary, Michelle Stanistreet, also said Vice's claims the union had shown a "concerning lack of transparency" in negotiations were untrue and vowed to continue pushing for recognition.
