RTÃ reported that, in a bulletin to staff on Monday, Director General Dee Forbes said that RTÃ respected that the proposals had been clearly rejected by members of the Trade Union Group.
Under the salary cut proposals, RTà staff earning over â¬40,000 per annum would have had to take salary cuts ranging from 3.5% to 5.35% of their gross pay depending on their current earnings.
Staff earning under â¬40,000 per annum were exempt from the cuts under the proposals.
Paid sick leave at RTÃ would have also been halved to bring it into line with public service and certified sick leave would drop from five days per year to seven days over two years.
