This is about 147 employees who have gathered in a joint appeal addressed to SVT's management, writes Dagens Nyheter.
However, they seem to have fallen on deaf ears with the management, according to Oskar Anesten, editor of "K Special" and one of the people behind the SVT appeal.
This is a stab in the heart of public service, he says to DN.
Employees from all over the country have signed the appeal. One of them is Jessika Gedin, presenter of the literature magazine "Babel".
We on "Babel" would not have been able to do our interviews with Abdulrazak Gurna, Jon Fosse, Zadie Smith, Salman Rushdie, Margaret Atwood. Or rather, we would have been able to do the interviews, but they would have become significantly dumber, duller, and more pretentious, she says to DN.
The measure is part of a cost-cutting package that means Sveriges Radio Förvaltning, SRF, must be cut by 16 million kronor and that about twenty people have been notified of redundancy. Last week, 155 employees at Sveriges Radio signed an appeal against plans to scrap the research department.
