| Subject: Excellent wholesale culling: Leftist OZschwitz ABC journalists informed of potential redundancies before Christmas Wed Dec 17, 2014 9:46 pm | |
| ABC journalists were in tears on Wednesday afternoon after being told their positions could become redundant.
Close to a third of more than 300 ABC staff in pools with similarly skilled colleagues were expected to learn their possible fate by 5pm.
'People are devastated. You are looking at people with upwards of 20 years' experience.'
The Fair Work Commission on Monday recommended that staff should be notified of their potential redundancy by the close of business on Wednesday.
Federal Politics reporter Lyndal Curtis has also confirmed she was leaving the ABC. Fairfax Media understands Curtis had made her own decision to leave.
Another senior ABC journalist told Fairfax Media that at least four of her colleagues had been selected for possible redundancy at lunchtime.
"People are devastated," she said. "You are looking at people with upwards of 20 years' experience."
