Journalists at the Guardian and the Observer have voted to strike for 48 hours over the planned sale of the Observer to Tortoise.

- Anna Isaac

Union members passed a motion yesterday stating that selling the Sunday newspaper to Tortoise would be a "betrayal" of the Scott Trust's commitment to the Observer. The trust is the ultimate owner of Guardian Media Group.

The strike is due to take place on 4 and 5 December.

Tortoise is run by James Harding, a former editor of the Times and former director of BBC News. It has said it plans to continue to publish the Observer on Sundays and build the Observer's digital presence, combining with Tortoise's podcasts, newsletters and live events. News of Tortoisejs approach for the Observer emerged in September.
