Ringier Axel Springer dismisses 22 journalists in Serbia

Ringier Axel Springer Serbia has acted fairly and responsibly towards the affected employees and in accordance with applicable law, Ringier announced in response to a request from the news agency sda. A social plan will be applied. The local management had thoroughly examined all options beforehand, but the dismissals were unavoidable. Syndicom reacted with harsh criticism to the mass dismissal, accusing the media company of "ignoring any trade union and employee rights in a Wild West manner." At the same time, it called on Ringier to remember its own ethical standards and honor its social responsibility to its employees. (SDA)
