A majority of MEAA (Media, Entertainment & Arts Alliance) union members at News Corp have voted to accept an offer that will roll over the Enterprise Bargaining Agreement for 12 months with a pay rise of 3.5%.
MEAA members voted at union meetings across the country and online to adopt the 3.5% pay rise, which will soon be put to a formal vote of endorsement by all News Corp staff.
News Corp declined to comment.
In the last 12 months, MEAA members at Are Media secured a major pay rise and significant upgrades to many of their conditions, including annual grading reviews and caregiver leave, while rejecting an offer from Nine Entertainment to journalists for a new enterprise agreement, saying management put forward a deal that was "well below the rate of inflation".
