Jolanta Hofer sued TVN for her work on the production of “Conversations in Progress”. The verdict has been passed
According to the Wirtualnemedia.pl portal, an employee of the TVN station sued her employers and won the case in the court of first instance in early 2023. Hofer had reservations about working conditions at TVN when she was a producer. The station appealed against the verdict.
Hofer accuses her employers of dishonesty regarding the working conditions they were supposed to provide her with. “I moved to TVN from a full-time job in public radio and from the very beginning I made it clear that I wanted a full-time job. I was promised this job and its implementation was constantly postponed. Then life happened… When I became a producer, I came back to the matter. I heard: ‘Or You accept what is, Mrs. Jolu, or…’ and here you throw up your hands,” the portal quotes the former producer of “Conversations in progress”.
“And I was thanked for my cooperation”
In addition, Hofer talks about the mobbing she experienced in 2018. “If I had been employed at the time, I could have appealed to the labor court. The person who witnessed these situations reported it to the HR department. The American owners of TVN had a code of ethics in which it was written that such situations should be reported and with great care. analyzed. And even if these allegations are not confirmed, nothing will happen to the person who reported them. The person concerned was supposed to be instructed. A commission was created, in which only people associated with TVN sat, I never found out what were the results of this commission’s work. And I was thanked for my cooperation,” he says.
The trial of Hofer and TVN has been going on for five years and is kept secret at the television station’s request.
