Management at Radio Canada International have officially informed the employees’ union that two of the four announcer-producer positions in the Ukrainian service have been abolished. Both had been filled temporarily since last year, with no clear explanation why they had not been filled permanently. The RCI Action Committee says it’s not clear what the remaining two people in the service will be doing when the new programming starts on March 29, given that there will no longer be any newscasts in Ukrainian.
More information in the RCI Action Committee Weblog.
