Great to see the incredible turnout and strength of solidarity for striking NUJ members at Guardian and Observer this morning. New GS Laura Davison rallying the troops alongside politicians, artists, journalists, performers. It’s not every day you have Michael Rosen leading a picket line singalong!

Solidarity with all the NUJ members at the Guardian and Observer out on strike today and tomorrow. Standing up for trusted media in a world where we need that more than ever.
Guardian & Observer journalists have voted to strike!
They will undertake two 48-hour periods of strike action on 4-5 December and 12-13 December. The dispute relates to the Guardian Media Group's sale of The Observer, strongly opposed by the union.
