Up to 100 RTÉ staff write letters opposing salary cuts

UP to 100 staff have written to RTÉ opposing the introduction of pay cuts of up to 12.5% as part of an effort to recoup a predicted €68m in losses this year.

News of the letters came as the national broadcaster prepared to today release its annual general report, which will include the salaries of RTÉ’s top presenters.

However, the wages of the likes of Pat Kenny and Gerry Ryan as detailed in today’s document will be for 2007, and therefore will not take into account the 10% pay cut that each has taken.
