RTÉ has published proposals to implement a package of cuts to salaries, jobs and sick pay worth an estimated €8.3m in a bid to address the financial difficulties facing the station.
The cuts form part of RTÉ s previous pledge to deliver €60m in cost savings over a three-year period.
According to today s RTÉ/TUG Stability Agreement, the organisation is seeking significant cost savings from pay cuts ranging from 3.5% to 5.35% and reductions in allowances, though those earning less than €40,000 a year would be exempt.
