FVG – It took place yesterday Monday 6 May first day of strike at RAI – Italian Radio and Television.
The Assembly of the editorial staff of the TGR of Friuli Venezia Giulia also endorsed all the reasons that led to the RAI journalists’ strike called for 6 May 2024, and added what is read in the press release.
The press release from the FVG editorial team: the reasons for the strike
“It is absolutely urgent that the Company review its strategy regarding the production of images for regional information. It is not acceptable that a company like RAI, the largest publishing company in the country and concessionaire of the Public Radio and Television Service, has essentially given up on the production of images with staff within the company itself who are adequately qualified and specifically assigned to this task. The alternatives proposed and adopted so far are nothing more than a warm blanket. We need to find a practicable and agreed solution together, because RAI, and the Regional Offices specifically, cannot give up maintaining within themselves a fundamental capital of technique and experience”.
“We strongly ask for the Company’s commitment to carry out a new public selection for journalists from the regional editorial offices, in order to fill the staffing gaps. With respect to our Friuli-Venezia Giulia editorial team, the Company continues to be in default of the agreements signed”.
“Finally, the Assembly reports and deplores the Company’s technological delays in guaranteeing a quality signal in the transmission of regional content on TV, radio (DAB) and the web”.
