The staff of the regional television station Tele Bärn are demanding better working conditions. Next week, they want to hand over a petition to the management of Espace Media Groupe for more pay and better training.
As the Swiss Syndicate of Media Professionals (SSM) announced on Thursday, the journalists, technicians and administrative staff agreed on this course of action on Wednesday. The criticism is directed against wage differences within the Espace Media Groupe as well as differences in comparison with the staff of Tele Züri. After the takeover of Espace Media Groupe by Tamedia, the same rules must apply everywhere, the employees concerned demand.
The staff are also demanding better training and further education opportunities and point to the additional fee money of around CHF 2.2 million that the new license will bring. The spokesman for Espace Media Groupe, Christopher Wehrli, confirmed wage differences between Tele Züri and Tele Bärn on request. These are due to the fact that Tele Züri generates more revenue and can therefore pay better wages.
Tele Bärn had already provided training and further education in the past, but simply internally. With the new concession, it will now be possible to offer these courses externally as well. This demand from employees will therefore certainly be met.
