RTÉ staff reject proposed pay cuts

RTÉ's director general, Dee Forbes, had previously said the cuts and changes to work practices were 'necessary to return RTÉ to a sustainable financial position'.

RTÉ staff have rejected proposed pay cuts and changes to work practices designed to save the broadcaster €8.3m.

A total of 87% of those polled on whether to accept or reject them voted against the measures, which are part of a three-year cost-saving plan designed to save €60m.
