The Derry Street office is also home to Metro, The Independent and the Evening Standard.

The staff have complained that they are paid the current UK minimum wage of 7.50 per hour.

A spokesperson said: We have not been made aware of the strike.

We certainly wouldnt fire them for asking for a pay rise or going on strike, and we dont tolerate threatening behaviour in any of our contracts.

In the past in the UK, we knew our customers generically but not specifically because of the method of sales through a retailer.

Kevin Beatty, CEO of dmg media, publishers of the Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, MailOnline, Mail Plus, Metro and Elite Daily, will have none of that, thank you.

The Mail media brands he manages as part of the vast Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) business carry considerable clout.

UK revenues were up 17 percent and US revenues were up 66 percent, reflecting the strong growth trajectory there where it has invested heavily in recent years.

And its free daily, Metro, still has a significant circulation (1,348,033).

Which is why Daily Mails steady sales and MailOnlines continued growth are all the more important for future stability and growth.

DMGT, which operates in more than 40 countries with some 10,000 employees, is made up of five operating businesses.

Just a couple weeks later, The Independent in the UK announced that it will close down its printed edition later this month, and that its digital stablemate, I, was being sold to Johnston Press.

He will also share whats next for The Mail during a keynote presentation at Digital Media Europe 2016 in Vienna in April.

There have been many publishing launches and cessations over the years, which demonstrates the vibrancy of our sector.

Circulation of the Independent had fallen to unsustainably low levels with much bigger audiences for the brand online.

In its spin-off, the I, which is doing relatively well, it had created a publishing model where Johnston Press saw value.

No doubt, under its new owner, we will witness some further new initiatives and just to add a little spice Trinity Mirror has recently launched a new daily newspaper, the NewDay.

It has huge opportunities and I am sure the Chairman and his nominations committee will scour the world in search of the best candidate to take over from Martin Morgan when he retires.

I have no doubt there will be a lot of interest for such a well-coveted role.

For me, bearing in mind that the role of our company is to produce high-quality popular content and deliver that to a scaled audience from which we can sustain the business, there are two key metrics relevance and influence.

How big is our audience Is it growing Is it a quality audience that works for our commercial partners Are they investing more of their time and money and engaging more Are they advocates of what we do.

They are prepared to pay for it the cover price of the Daily Mail has just gone up to 65p Monday to Friday.

The Mail on Sunday has just become Britains best read Sunday and Metro goes from strength to strength.

Furthermore, they continue to be highly engaged with the newspapers, and through MyMail our online portal for Mail Newspapers readers we are learning so much more.

The Mail titles are falling by around half of that and Metros distribution is rock steady.

We still retain real scale in all the key demographics in the UK and with the addition of our digital audiences hold the number one position among news brands.

Then there is the ever-growing success of MailOnline across the rest of the world.
