This is an angry editorial staff.
The journalists of the editorial staff of France 24, engaged in an arm wrestling with the leaders of the international news channel, launched Friday a call to strike for the day of Thursday, November 18.
They thus intend to denounce numerous dysfunctions within the chain.
In an internal press release consulted by AFP, they cite a lack of "human and financial resources", a "lack of anticipation", "opacity in decision-making", and a "total lack of listening and inclusion of chain collaborators "who would govern" a system that is at the end of its rope ".

A motion of no confidence voted on November 4
They also warn about the lack of consideration vis-à-vis freelancers.
Freelancers are those freelance journalists that the company pays by the day, according to its needs.
The editorial staff of France 24 had already voted a motion of no confidence in its management on November 4.
The text was voted by 60% of the workforce.
A delegation of employees is to meet with management on Monday.
A new general assembly will then take place at the beginning of the week, in order to determine whether the call to strike is maintained or not.
