Publish all salaries over €100,000 in RTE
The pay gap in RTE is a huge problem. Women are not paid the same as their male colleagues for like work and the 'top talent' in RTE earn excessively high salaries.
As a public service RTE needs to lead by example and reduce the pay gap by paying everyone a fair salary that doesn't result in such a massive pay gap.
The starting point is transparency - publish salaris over €100,000
Why is this important?
The top 10 earners in RTE get nearly €3 million between them. Meanwhile RTE is looking for redundancies and also increasing the licence fee. We need our public broadcaster to demonstrate fairness and equality before struggling families are asked to foot the bill for pay discrimination.
