À Punt Approves Staffing Overhaul With 29 Cuts and 31 New Posts

The plan still requires board and government review before any changes take effect.

Overview

  • Management says the new job map seeks greater agility and flexibility without increasing the wage bill, exchanging 29 amortized roles for 31 newly created positions.
  • The linguistic department is reduced from 12 to 6 professionals as two linguistic technicians and four advisers are eliminated, prompting warnings about support for Valencian across output.
  • Unions CCOO-PV and Intersindical Valenciana denounce the move as ideological and describe it as a dismantling of services that underpin the public broadcaster’s language mission.
  • The head of Meteorology post held by Victòria Roselló is scrapped, while a meteorologist role is created that could allow her to remain without leading the section.
  • Staff prepare protests including weekly Black Friday rallies outside the Burjassot headquarters, as the dispute follows criticism of recent editorial decisions under review by the regional media regulator.
