I'M TELLING YOU... ANY DEMOCRACY IN THIS UNION 45 journalists by the Trident West London are strike against mi plans to axe jol Richmond Herald down the existing replacing it with tising 'free sheet'.

Richmond Herald journalists have been backed by NUJ members of sister papers, the Surrey Comet and the Middlesex Chronicle.

Resolutions of support should be forwarded to Strike HO, 162, London Road, Kingston on Thames.

Pickets are also welcome outside 20, Church Street, Kingston.
