  • Journalists and technicians from France 3 in the Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region are on strike this Monday to demand more resources after the implementation of a new program.

  • There will therefore be no TV news on Monday.

  • The movement, massively followed, could be renewed. 

"There will be no news": a strike began on Monday in France 3 Rhône-Alpes, where journalists and technicians are calling for more human and technical resources after the establishment of a new program.

Entitled “6.30 pm, we decode” and dedicated to the decryption of information, it is provided alternately by the editorial staff of Clermont-Ferrand, Grenoble and Lyon in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Other similar meetings have been launched by France 3 since the end of January in other regions.

The CGT, SNJ, CFDT and South unions denounce "difficulties in the production of this information section and the cruel lack of personnel for its realization".

“After a first strike of more than 15 days in Lyon (within the framework of a national notice), unheard of at France 3 Rhône-Alpes for more than 20 years, Lyon employees are strongly mobilized to defend their service mission public ”but“ the management does not want to hear anything ”, they deplore.

Audience drop

According to Daniel Pajonk, CGT employee representative, this new local program “takes resources from the editorial staff for everything else, the television news broadcast in Rhône-Alpes every noon and evening, as well as the local versions of Lyon and Saint-Etienne ".

"We also realize that the editorial content is far from the promises and this results in a drop in audience," he regrets.

“Our branch was already under-staffed compared to others and this cuts our resources even more.

It's very important to decipher the information, but you still have to have the time and the people to find the right guests, to deepen the reports, etc.

», Estimates a member of the editorial staff, which includes 46 journalists.

This strike movement, "massively" followed according to the inter-union, is renewable.
