Printers at Fairfax Media, where journalists have gone on strike until Monday, are remaining at work, a union official said today.
Australian Manufacturers and Workers Union national print secretary Steve Walsh said the union was monitoring the situation but his members would keep working.
Journalists at Fairfax newspapers, including The Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne's The Age, yesterday voted to stay out until Monday over job cuts and pay negotiations.
The walkout comes just days after Fairfax Media announced it would cut 550 jobs under a business improvement programme and Wednesday's sacking of The Age editor-in-chief, Andrew Jaspan.
"At this stage we are continuing to monitor the situation and maintaining a watching vigil," Mr Walsh told AAP.
He said he would be having discussions later today with the journalists' union - the Media, Entertainment and Arts Alliance.
"I will be in touch with the MEAA today to see what the latest (development) is."
