Activists on board
THREE UNION activists at the BBC have started working for the union.
Keith Murray and Jon Holden are job-sharing as NUJ “secondees”, covering the nations and regions.
They are still employed — and paid — by the BBC, but work for members in local and regional BBC bases.
Jon Holden, from the London radio newsroom, works three days a week and Keith Murray, from the BBC’s Cambridge newsroom, two days — which allows him to carry on being a househusband for the rest of the week.
There is another NUJ secondee — Tory Blair from the BBC News Centre who took up the post last May to cover members in London.
