Unions urge BBC staff to voice 'cuts' opposition
Industry Unions have asked BBC staff to show their opposition to plans for cuts and privatisation this week.
Thousands of protest badges are being distributed by Bectu, the NUJ, and Amicus. The unions are asking staff to wear them on Wednesday March 2, to mark the date which could also see the publication of a long-awaited government Green Paper on the BBC's future.
The badge campaign is being backed by posters, and a series of open meetings for union members in large BBC centres, where union officials will outline "the threat that Director General Mark Thompson's plans for change could pose to thousands of jobs".
