ANSA will be on strike from 10pm on June 15th until 7am on Wednesday 17th June.
The press release of the cdr - "A month after the start of the dispute, the ANSA CDR, while remaining open to discussion, reiterates its no to the plan of interventions proposed by the company to deal with expected lost revenues of a few million euros. Despite the availability of the top management to mitigate the impact, the proposed measures would undermine the agency's ability to operate in a very delicate phase in which the country is committed to getting out of the health emergency and embarking on the path of economic recovery. social media would jeopardize the full functionality not only of the headquarters, but also of the regional and foreign offices, which are essential to guarantee a widespread information coverage of the territory. ANSA journalists appeal to the members of the cooperative, institutions, government and all political forces to find a solution that allows the agency to adequately play its role for the foreseeable future or essential public service and a leverage to fake news. The CDR proclaims the strike from 10 pm today until 7 am on Wednesday 17 June ".
The press release of the company - "With regard to the ongoing dispute, the company considers it necessary to specify the following. The Agency closed the two financial years prior to the one in progress and in 2019 no recourse was made to social safety nets nor to structural reductions in personnel (journalistic or otherwise). The forecasts for 2020, formulated pre-emergency Covid-19, projected a positive result and in line with that of the previous year; the new forecasts, updated following the pandemic and of the state of crisis in which the whole country is facing, there is a contraction in revenues in the market from which ANSA derives 60% of its revenues. With the aim of maintaining a balanced budget by preserving the employment levels of the journalistic staff, the company has proposed a series of measures of an exclusively contingent nature, which do not entail any staff reduction, nor the closure or downsizing of any regional branch of the Agency in It alia or abroad. Cost containment involves all sectors of the company equally, starting with executives, and joins the agreement recently signed for the printing sector, which instead envisaged structural interventions, with the early retirement of around 40 non-employed workers. having editorial duties. The company management, after initiating a negotiation process without preliminary rulings with the aim of reaching an agreement and having accepted some of the counterpart's requests, acknowledges that the editorial committee has proclaimed a new strike and reiterated its no to the plan. interventions'. It is surprising to note the editorial staff's unwillingness to face, albeit to a significantly lesser extent than other companies, the sacrifices required of the entire country by the ongoing dramatic economic emergency.
