Description

Český rozhlas (Czech Radio), a national broadcasting company, is to reduce its workforce by 15 to 20 per cent, i.e. about 300 out of a total 1,500 jobs. The reductions will take place over the next three years and stem from the planned reduction in the number of radio stations.

According to the general director Peter Duhan, the planned layoffs will lead to the growth of average wages of current workers.
