Newsagents need to act on magazine terms

Further to my blog post yesterday about supermarkets getting access to Cosmopolitan Health and other magazines on better trading terms than newsagents, this is an issue industry associations could consider engaging in – using collective bargaining rights.

Equally, now that we have proof of it happening, we could try and bargain for ourselves although I don’t hold out much hope.

I plan to put the question to several publishers.  I am keen to hear their response.

    What we need to do is to try and negoriate equal terms that is better than early returning.
