Broadcast Workers To Vote On Pay Cut
RTÉ staff are to take a vote on a 12% pay cut this week in a bid to save the state broadcaster from possible closure.
Rumours about closure have been dismissed by spokesmen for RTÉ, but staff have been told that over 200 jobs are on the line if the pay reductions are not accepted.
Some reports however are continuing to suggest the network is facing bankruptcy, and needs to save €100million to remain solvent.
Staff are to take the vote on the proposed pay cut this week and reports suggest there are no other offers on the table. Staff have been told that management is drawing up a list of people who they are going to make redundant to save money.
Controversy surrounds the networks difficulties, as its chairman and senior management were known to be on six figure salaries, with Chairman Cathal Goan enjoying a salary of €441,000 in 2007. However, management have claimed they took a salary cut this year.
