Murray’s proposal of Doherty passes
In the opening move of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) Annual Delegate Meeting, James Doherty was elected as Chair.
NUJ Vice President, Peter Murray, proposed current President Doherty. Murrey moved “in the spirit of voting against the anti-union legislation”.
Doherty thanked Murray and the delegates for voting him in and welcomed being mentioned in the same sentence as Arthur Scargill.
The motion read: “This ADM agrees that conference shall be chaired by the immediate Post President James Doherty.”
It’s Murray
Noted and corrected, thanks.
