The trade union organization of the Radio and Television of Montenegro (RTCG) has said that it will protect the rights of all workers against, as they say, the "irresponsibility and arrogance" of the general director of the Public Service, Boris Raonic.
"RTCG is celebrating its jubilee these days, on November 27 to be exact. Eighty years of radio and 60 years of television. Our trade union organization uses the opportunity to congratulate its colleagues on this holiday and wish the house where we work many more jubilee birthdays. And birthdays would not be right, if they didn't make at least a small overview of what is happening in our house. just not the public service of all citizens. Instead of respecting the law and procedures, we have the adoption of legally problematic decisions. Instead of the violation of journalistic ethics, we have the persecution of employees on national, religious and political grounds announcement of the Executive Board of the RTCG Trade Union Organization.
They say that they have become a collective in which management does not respect workers' rights and procedures, workers are "declared extremists and classified as 'yours' and 'ours'", and their photos are shared on social networks and threatened with dismissal.
"As a birthday greeting, we tell our colleagues that our trade union organization, regardless of the fact that its representativeness has ceased to exist under strange conditions, will protect the rights of all workers from irresponsibility and arrogance, the decisions of the court of illegal, general director, regardless of whether they are our members or not. We also invite the competent state institutions, first of all the Prosecutor's Office, to check whether there are elements of hate speech and discrimination based on national and political affiliation in the announcements of the illegal director-general it is forbidden in the state, so we hope that the prosecution will finally start doing its job. And finally, we will look back at the Sevčani Academy, where none of our former colleagues, for whom RTCG was recognizable, were among the guests we will celebrate all future anniversaries in different circumstances, as our institution deserves. It is up to us to create those circumstances," the announcement reads.
