The movement continues.

The strike by some of the staff of the international news television channel France 24, which began on Thursday morning, was continued at least until Monday evening, the movement's Twitter account, "F24 Solidaires", said on Friday.

"The employees and freelancers of France 24 gathered in a general meeting have just voted 60% for the renewal of the strike at least until Monday evening", it is written.

"A new general meeting will be held on Monday at 4.30 p.m.", he said in the same tweet.

At a meeting between management and the unions that started on Friday morning and lasted nearly 5 hours, "proposals were made, but they are not satisfactory for the majority of the general assembly," told the 'AFP Florent Rodo, freelance writer for nine and a half years at France 24 and member of the 12-person delegation appointed by the general assembly to negotiate with management and unions.

Management recognizes "a malaise"

“We have been promised around fifty permanent contract hires by 2023. It's a bit of a long timeframe.

There would be around thirty hires at the start of the 2022 school year and the rest the year after, ”he explained.

In addition, “on toxic management, the culture of cronyism, we really were not heard.

We do not really have the impression that the management has taken the measure of the discomfort, ”he added.

The angry employees had initiated a week ago the vote of a motion of no confidence against a part of the leaders of the chain, denouncing "a deep deterioration of [their] working conditions".

In an interview Monday on France Inter, the director of France 24 Vanessa Burggraf had recognized "a discomfort" within the editorial staff of the channel and that it was necessary to "get out".

France 24 offers four global continuous information channels (in French, English, Arabic and Spanish), broadcasting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to 444 million households on 5 continents.

It has been offering its programs since the end of 2006 and belongs to the France Médias Monde group (which also oversees RFI).
