Mirror and Express staff could strike this week as pay talks fail

Walkout planned for Wednesday after weekend talks with publisher Reach result in stalemate

Journalists at newspapers including the Daily Mirror and Daily Express could go on strike this Wednesday, after talks with the publisher, Reach, over the weekend failed to resolve a stalemate over pay.

Reach journalists last week called off industrial action at the 11th hour, averting a strike scheduled for Friday, after the company asked for further negotiations.
