Fifteen RTS employees, both on the television and radio sides, must retire early. The announcement was made to them in mid-January. The measure is expected to save 1.6 million francs out of a total of 14.3 million in 2020.
The positions will not be replaced.

“The positions will not be replaced,” Sophie Balbo, spokesperson for the RTS, told Keystone-ATS on Saturday, confirming information from the Tribune de Genève. The social plan, which proposes early retirement measures from the age of 58, will apply. Those concerned have 40 days to respond.
This measure is part of the RTS savings plan, which is to cut 14.3 million francs this year, mainly due to the fall in advertising revenues. A total of 22.8 posts, of which 9.4 are vacancies, are being cut. Staff savings represent 11% of the total savings.
