New violation of labour law in the Public Television

An amendment, which was integrated in a bill of the Ministry of Environment and which was submitted in Parliament, foresees the prolongation of the 2month contracts from the first recruitment in the Public Television and for all those who will be hired before the full operation of the New Hellenic Radio Internet and Television. The maximum period of employment will be 10 months.
POSPERT, the Panhellenic federation of Associations of Television and Radio Station Personnel reports that this constitutes an insult of fundamental constitutional laws and a violation of all regulations of workers protection.
For this reason, ERT’s workers will file a complaint to the competent prosecution, political parties and the European Parliament.
