FAIRFAX staff in Melbourne and Sydney have returned to work 24 hours after they walked off the job.
Staff at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and the Australian Financial Review voted for a snap 24-hour strike on Wednesday.
The move came after they learned 25 editorial production jobs, 30 photographic positions and 15 jobs in the Life Media division were on the chopping block in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra.
Jason South, a Walkley Award-winning photographer who became a de facto spokesman for Melbourne Fairfax staff when the strike began, said staff in Sydney and Melbourne went back to work at 3pm (AEST) on Thursday.
"We have returned to work. It was a 24-hour strike and we went back to work at 3pm because management will not talk to us while we are on strike," he said.
Mr South said staff hope to begin negotiations with management within the next 24 hours to avert the threatened job cuts.
