Record and Mail to shed 90 jobs

The Daily Record and sister title the Sunday Mail are to shed 90 editorial staff, it was announced yesterday.

Non-Scottish content at the Glasgow-based newspapers will be shared with other Mirror group titles, including the Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and the People.

Trinity Mirror described the move as "the next stage of its technology-led development". It added that some magazine and features pages will be handled by the Press Association.

Paul Holleran, Scottish organiser of the NUJ, said: "We are absolutely shocked and stunned. We are meeting with management to discuss their proposals."
