The Circle of Graphic Reporters once again demanded the granting of the pensions promised by the government to its various members.
Corpus Montero, president of the union, said that the situation of economic precariousness in which dozens of cameramen of retirement age live, in addition to the illnesses they suffer, requires the will of President Luis Abinader.
“We have been waiting for around 12 years for pensions for our cameramen with their forces exhausted, sick and forgotten by the different authorities on duty,” he said.
Leading his second assembly to assess the performance of the current administration, Montero said that decent retirement has been guaranteed to artists, drivers and sugarcane workers, and he hopes that “the government will do the same with lens professionals.”
“We have graphic reporters who can’t even buy their food and medicine. Everyone knows about the miserable wages that cameramen earn,” he added.
At the meeting of the Circle of Graphic Reporters, the members of the Electoral Commission that will organize the elections for the election of the new authorities to be held on the last Sunday of March were unanimously chosen.
The aforementioned commission is made up of: Yudelki Guerrero, press director of Telecentro, channel 13, Jhon García and Nelson Gutiérrez, member of the National Union of Press Workers
