The Syndicat national des journalistes tunisiens (SNJT) has expressed its support for a sit-in by journalists at La Presse de Tunisie, who are protesting against years of precarious working conditions. The journalists are demanding the renewal of their contracts, which have not been renewed for years, leaving them without stability or guarantees of decent work. The SNJT considers these demands to be legitimate.
The SNJT has criticized the management of La Presse de Tunisie for relying on precarious contracts without a clear solution. The union believes that an institution as old as La Presse cannot manage its staff with temporary contracts. The SNJT has called on the presidency of the government to take responsibility as a supervisor of public policies concerning public enterprises.
The SNJT has also directly addressed the management of La Presse de Tunisie, demanding that they resolve the issue and end the precarious contracts. The union has called for a responsible and urgent dialogue between all parties to find a definitive solution after years of waiting. The SNJT believes that this issue is part of a broader debate on the reform of public media.
The SNJT has emphasized that the reform of public media should not be carried out at the expense of journalists or make them bear the weight of administrative and financial difficulties. The union advocates for a reform that guarantees the sustainability of public media, their independence, and the rights of their employees.
The SNJT has called on all union structures at La Presse to unite to defend the journalists concerned and has announced its readiness to use all forms of mobilization and legitimate legal channels to obtain stable and dignified employment for them. The union believes that a solution must be found to end the precarious working conditions of journalists at La Presse de Tunisie.
The sit-in by journalists at La Presse de Tunisie is a protest against years of non-renewal of contracts, which has left them in a state of uncertainty. The SNJT has supported the journalists' demands, considering them to be legitimate and deserving of attention. The union has urged the authorities to take responsibility and find a solution to the issue.
The SNJT's support for the sit-in by journalists at La Presse de Tunisie highlights the challenges faced by journalists in Tunisia.
