A group of 127 journalists of Greek State Television network ERT have had enough of the strikes and protests that have been staged for months in the information sector. They have drafted a document with the title ”Enough”, in which they ask for an end of the protest within the company.
All Greek journalists started a 48-hour strike this morning. ”After weeks of protests and after most demands have been granted,” the document reads, ”we have reached a stage of protesting for its own sake. This ”union gymnastics” is staged in a period of deep crisis and suffering in the Greek community, a period in which the crisis is deepening in the media sector as well.
In this economic situation, some of us have decided to continue in ERT despite the fact that alternative forms of protest have been proposed. Therefore the signers of this document say that it’s enough. We cannot continue like this.” ”The owners of ERT are Greek citizens who pay tax.”
The document specifies that the content does not regard today’s media strike but only protests in the sector of public television.
