“The fall of a wall, the end of the monopoly” –

«Today a wall fell. It is the end of the monopoly even if some still struggle to accept the new reality of pluralism, including trade union pluralism. Today is a historic day for Rai.” This is the reaction of Unirai, free Rai journalists, the right-oriented union, regarding today’s strike called by Usigrai. «Whoever wanted to impose his vision on all Rai journalists – continues the note from the newly formed association – was soundly defeated. Learn the lesson of democracy. Calm down and avoid continuing to make a fool of yourself. There are those who are spending the day trying to hinder the work of those who legitimately did not go on strike. He can go home. Everything useless. Many colleagues who were not members of our union worked and did not want to boycott anything. In the presence of multiple unions, if you want to have a successful protest, you discuss them first. But to do this you need maturity. We need to accept the idea that a different thought exists. We need less arrogance and more respect for everyone’s ideas” we read in the statement.

Unirai underlines that today «Tg1 (8 am and 1.30 pm), TG2 at 1 pm, various editions and sections of Rainews24 were broadcast. Rainews.it website regularly updated as well as Teletext. Raisport journalists have produced reports for other newspapers as have many colleagues from TGRs such as Lazio, Abruzzo, Sicily and Campania. Tgr Puglia and Tgr Molise regularly broadcast with the usual format. The Rai press office is also operational. Finally, all the In-depth and Day Time programs are on air.” The internal battle between the two fronts that bring together journalists continues.
