Radio Freiburg: Dismissed staff representatives file suit
Two journalists who were dismissed from Radio Fribourg last February have filed a lawsuit against their former employer. They are claiming abusive dismissals.
The media union Comedia and the professional association Impressum made the lawsuit public on Tuesday and announced that they supported the two media professionals. Once again, it has been shown that shop stewards and staff representatives in Switzerland must be better protected against abusive dismissals. According to the two professional associations, the two journalists, as part of a staff delegation, wanted to convey the editorial team's point of view to the Board of Directors. At the center of this was a conflict over structures in local radio. As a result, the Board of Directors dismissed the two due to a mutual loss of trust.
