Inside RTÉ: Pay, roster and contract issues constant for lower paid staff
A report by
Jane Moore
Earlier this year, a group of production assistants were erroneously paid below the hourly minimum wage.
An 'us and them' situation has developed at the national broadcaster as staff suspect special treatment is given to high earners.
Production assistants were paid less than the hourly minimum wage for a number of months before the problem was rectified.
In this special report, Jane Moore talks to union reps, current employees and former staff members.
