RTÉ is a company with a terrible employment record in many respects. It has been investigated by the Department of Social Protection, with 500 workers potentially classed as self-employed when they should be employees. Some 60% of investigations have led to self-employed people being reclassified as employees. It is an organisation with a tarnished employment record in many respects, but still, you would not for a moment have any doubt about RTÉ and how it might behave around staff.
