It was felt that we need to launch a movement against such actions by the managements of such media houses. It was also felt that we need to take up the issue with the government at the central and state level to intervene in the matter to safeguard the livelihood of media persons.
It was further felt that the government be asked to provide some kind of relief or assistance to media houses by way of a financial package or reduction / waiver of taxes / duties / etc, especially those organizations which have not retrenched employees in these difficult times.
We encourage all media employees / unions and those associated with the media to join hands to protect the livelihood of employees.
