The Chronicle Herald newsroom workers are on strike as of 12:01 this morning.
The union representing 61 members said the company planned to impose working conditions they rejected.
Just before the strike-lockout deadline, the Herald contracted out its online work to a company in Ontario and other work to normally done by Nova Scotia journalists to New Brunswick News.
Local president Ingrid Bulmer said the strike move was defensive.
The union offered to negotiate with the Herald all night and all weekend if necessary if they didn’t impose conditions, but they rejected the offer.
