The controversy surrounding child pornography images downloaded from the internet is entering a new phase at the French-Swiss radio station RSR: The board of directors of Radio Télévision Suisse Romande (RTSR) has rejected the employees' threats to strike.
The affair surrounding the child pornography images downloaded from the Internet is entering the next round at Radio RSR in French-speaking Switzerland: the Board of Directors of Radio Télévision Suisse Romande (RTSR) has rejected the employees' strike threats. The staff are seeking the reinstatement of the IT specialist who uncovered the matter. The ultimatum issued by the staff meeting is unacceptable, according to a statement issued by the RTSR Board of Directors on Thursday. This approach is unacceptable and seriously jeopardizes industrial peace. The Board of Directors is appealing to the sense of responsibility of the SSM media union. The management is prepared to meet with the SSM-Lausanne regional group.
At a staff meeting last Monday, attended by 165 of the 600 radio employees, the management was given an ultimatum: Those present demanded that the computer scientist dismissed because of the child pornography pictures affair be reinstated by 5 p.m. on Friday. Otherwise, the employees want to decide on a possible strike.
