Hugo Díaz, Andrés Caballero and Oscar Cabral, three journalists at Canal 9 Cerro Corá (Paraguay) have been laid off without reason.



Hugo Díaz, 30 years of seniority, Andrés Caballero, 24 years of seniority and Oscar Cabral, 22 years of seniority, are the three journalists that have been unfairly dismissed after being pressured to leave the company.



SINTRATEL (the Union of Radio and Television Workers) and the SPP (the Union of Journalists of Paraguay) strongly condemn the unfair dismissal of the journalists. Yesterday at 18:30 a march of protest gathering Radio and TV Professionals took place in front of the headquarters of Canal 9 Cerro Corá.



The unions jointly denounce the climate of mistrust and fear of senior workers at Canal 9 Cerro Corá to be dismissed without reason and without compensation.



Moreover, the SPP and SINTRATEL suspect the dismissals to be intended to rout out the union movement in the company.



Solidarity messages are coming from everywhere to support the SPP and SINTRATEL in their struggle to ensure the respect of the labor and trade union rights at Canal 9 Cerro Corá.
