Summary
RTÉ staff are gearing up to strike as 85% of SIPTU members vote to take industrial action if the broadcaster continues outsourcing or cutting jobs — a direct backlash against the controversial “New Direction Strategy” they say threatens public service broadcasting’s soul. While RTÉ insists the plan is essential for survival in a changing media landscape and claims broad public support, unions remain defiant, backed by earlier no-confidence votes from both SIPTU and the NUJ. Talks are ongoing, but tensions are high — and the future of RTÉ’s mission hangs in the balance. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
