The national court paralyzed RTVE’s appeals by annulling some of the requirements of its bases, which, among other things, required a minimum verifiable professional experience for the position for which one is applying or at least one year of work in a similar position. The court accepted the lawsuit against RTVE, filed on June 16 by the Federation of Entertainment, Information, Paper and Graphic Arts of the General Confederation (FEIPAG-CGT), supported by CC OO, UGT, Independent Union of Communication and Broadcasting (SICD ), was filed, partially approved) and Union Sindical Obrera (USO). The invalidity of these criteria will result in the process being halted as it will be declared invalid. The public body has the opportunity to appeal this decision.
This Friday, RTVE sent a statement assuring that the selective procedures “will be maintained and will be adapted this Thursday to the ruling No. 106/2023 of the Social Chamber of the National Court”. “The exams will be suspended until the above adjustments are made and the new dates will be communicated as soon as possible,” the statement said. “Selective processes continue to be a primary goal of RTVE management.”
The collective action lawsuit found the conditions for participation in external employment advertisements to be unfair and warned that these could be unlawful. The ruling nullifies some of these requirements, such as “the presence of the minimum verifiable professional experience” required in the specific requirements for the position for which one is applying. Another requirement that has been voided since January 2007 is “the provision of services for a period of at least one year in a position similar to that for which you are applying.” The expression “the training and experience required.” “Apply for the positions advertised” is also declared null and void. will not be considered as merit” and the weighting of merits contained in appendices 5 and 6 of the general principles of the call for tenders, as indicated by the EFE Agency. The court releases the company from the other claims asserted against it.
The Federation of Entertainment, Information, Paper and Graphic Arts of the General Confederation argues in its lawsuit that these requirements violate the principles of equality, merit and merit in the foundations of the selection procedures required by RTVE.
The objective of RTVE is to include 1,082 permanent employees from the processes of consolidation of temporary employment and a public tender, which will make it possible to cover the losses of stable employment due to the retirements that have occurred in recent years and to strengthen the strategic areas of RTVE for the immediate future. The last call for appeals dates back to 2007.
