This success is the result of a key agreement reached by SINOS with the support of the IFJ. Around 135 media professionals had been working for RTV for many years on short-term, occasional and precarious contracts. After realizing that they were subject to similar precarious working conditions, they decided to join forces to demand their employment rights. And united they stand.
This Serbian success illustrates how collective action strengthens our ability to defend fair wages, better working conditions, equal treatment for all and ethical standards in our sector. Through solidarity, we can amplify our voices and hold to account employers, governments and others who seek to undermine journalistic integrity.
Acting and mobilizing together, as you also did to support journalists in Gaza on February 26, fosters a culture of support and collaboration between journalists, across geographical and ideological boundaries. By sharing our resources, expertise and experiences, we can better equip our members to respond to the ongoing threats to our profession, wherever we may be.
At a time when disinformation is proliferating unchecked, solidarity between journalists' unions remains a bulwark against manipulation and a guarantee of the credibility of fact-based information.
Thank you for your support!
