£6,000 a year: our gift to employers
BRITISH JOURNALISTS are giving employers nearly £6,000 a year each by working unpaid overtime, according to the TUC. They are 50 per cent more likely to work unpaid than the rest of the working population, making the industry one of the worst offenders in exploiting their employees’ goodwill.
The TUC survey shows that four in every ten media workers put in more than six hours unpaid overtime every week, worth £5,884 a year per person. Across the sector, 49,000 employees work unpaid overtime worth £288 million a year to employers.
