NUJ general secretary Jeremy Dear and president James Doherty have appealed for more funds to help the Leeds strikers.
The appeal recognises the importance of the dispute at the Johnston Press-owned Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening Post.
Members there are fighting compulsory redundancies and have already lost two weeks pay through taking industrial action.
Jeremy and James have called for chapels and branches and other groups of members to hold regular collections to keep the workers going. Their struggle is our struggle.
