Jordan Radio and Television Corporation has no intention of retracting its decision to terminate the services of 308 employees taken last week, a senior JRTVC official told Jordan Times on Monday.
At the same time, the official said, the corporation has no plans for further dismissals.
"The corporation categorically denies that there are intentions to dismiss more JRTVC employees," said the official, who preferred not to be named.
The official was responding to news reports stating that the JRTVC has plans to axe another 400 employees.
Working under efforts to restructure the JD5 million indebted and overstaffed corporation to enable it to become self-sufficient and operate on a commercial basis, JRTVC's new board of directors have carried out several reforms.
These include financial cutbacks such as halting transmission to several areas, cutting down on telephone, electricity and other expenses, and merging JTV's three channels and employee cutbacks – Albawaba.com
