here not sure if it should be the place where the protest, but the internet is used to get that stuff how are you, but can not be avoided, itself can be disseminated.
Apparently, in the TVE program "
Leonart " things are not as they should go. And who pays the duck? As well as the usual themes adivinaréis blog: The writers.
What have looks horrible. And worse: More than credible. And seeing what I've seen lately in the public entity so wonderful that we have. Situations are constantly repeated how are you and hurt even more in public companies and we all pay should be regulated. Really amazing.
Finally, I refer to letters which have sent members of the team (or rather, ex-team) script to give you a composition:
" Abuse Leonart the show's writers, TVE
Negotiations on the fourth semester of the program Leonart of TVE in the month of October 2007, the new direction of the program proposes to increase the workload of the writers without increasing the price of the scripts, citing an overall budget cuts, salary purposes, only hurts the writers' fees. This happens with precedent for refusing to raise the price of the IPC and to refuse a percentage of the rights of the DVDs that have been released to our work. The 12 writers who work since the program's inception, we consider the proposal unacceptable and inappropriate.
In the middle of negotiations, the direction of Leonart start looking for new writers, without explaining clearly to replace colleagues who refused to work for less money.
This conflict is resolved with a new offer from the program director and promoter of the initiative, José Juan Ruiz (known as Jack) kept the prices of the scripts and the workplace. This is possible thanks to the script editor and coordinator of Leonart unpaid work assumes that management wants to do the writers. The editor makes the effort to change to remain the same computer script for the sake of a program that she has grown along with the three principals in a year and a half have gone through the program.
spite of that gesture, the director sends a new proposal: to reduce substantially the price of labor in the script editor. In addition, the terms of total availability is maintained, as well as physically linked to the English TV, so that meetings with leadership and achievement. And all for what amounts to a net monthly salary is less than 1000 euros. Obviously, the editor refuses to accept these abusive conditions and are dismissed from the program.
After this clash, the direction of the program meets the writing team and gives us:
1) that, given the need to hire a new editor, notes the possibility that some of us, and with the blessing of management, to apply as such (and accept the conditions abuses which had previously been proposed to the editor)
2) that, from now and orders "from above" may only be 8 writers on the team.
3) that the first job of the next /-to editor / script-a will take three of his companions.
Against this background, and despite the interest we all have to preserve this work, the show's writers have made a decision: for absolute solidarity with the editor and coordinator Leonart script, the writing team decided to go en bloc. Not participate in any intrigue that goes against a partner, not work with an abuser and exploited to the writers.

In this letter, complemented by another that I came today to clarify issues and discuss news (come on, there is no news comment.) It was this:
Dear Colleagues
First of all, thank you very much your expressions of solidarity and your willingness to lend a hand in anything.
When we released our blogs resignation of the profession, associations of writers and Websites devoted to television did not expect an answer on such a scale. We believe that your collective response as professionals or future professionals, has been the best reward for our decision. We know that all or almost all who have ever worked as a writer I have encountered similar circumstances to those that we have lived.
Yesterday, some media interest in hearing about our problems. And throughout the day yesterday and this morning we had to organize ourselves to respond to both press and blogs and emails received. Thus, we expect to report throughout the day (or days).
Our objective now focuses on keeping alive the debate about job insecurity and absolute ninguneo affects most professional script, exemplified by our case. It would be a pity that this debate will go out without having accomplished anything beyond reporting a case of abuse. For this reason, we encourage you further disseminate the letter explaining the reasons for our resignation.
is true, however, that this is not enough to know all the details of what happened. That's why we invite you, if you need more information, we escribáis to our email guionistasleonart@gmail.com and the gladly provide you. And sorry in advance if we do immediately.
On the other hand, and appreciating some of the comments read blogs : we want to make clear that the writing team responsible Leonart director, Jose Juan Ruiz, of our joint decision. It bears the total responsibility program management. Executive Producer figure is absent in the format. And the show's producer has signed at all times the decisions of the director.
We want to emphasize that despite the ups and downs we've had since I started the program, and you sure sound (late payments, total indifference regarding the remuneration of the DVD released with our work, attempts at lowering salaries for the face ...) until now had accepted the conditions. We emphasize that the fundamental reason for our resignation en bloc, labor abuse has been received by our editor and coordinator.
take this opportunity to clarify other questions or concerns that have arisen some comments have appeared in blogs where the greatest impact has been the news:
- So far we have not received any response from the program direction or management of TVE for letters of resignation of the editor and other writers.
- The piece wage conditions were right.
- Charging € 750 per script
- But the introduction of the new director's approach represented a reduction in our fees. This and other abuses have contributed to the climate of indignation in our group of writers. Still, the straw that broke the camel's labor abuse has been received by our editor and coordinator.

Regardless of the mischief that they are doing, I must say that I think a salary that is less than 1000 euros net for a coordinator / script editor for a television program strikes me as a sinvergonzada. Directly. And be a generalist. And be TVE. What they pay what they pay the writers, and has no name.
And if true (the presumption that use of ...) the charges, conditions which are proposed, above, after the refurbishment (more workload, lower wages, layoffs), I seem to Third.
Anyway. Very sorry. So goes the TV. So goes the children's programming. They could care less. From here
encouragement and strength to those colleagues who advocate only one thing: dignity.
I like to believe that this is not true. Unfortunately
and seeing what you see, has many earmarks of being such. Mood
and all my support.

--------------------------------------- UPDATE: After statement ALMA about it, some journalists have asked Javier Pons (Director of TVE) on what happened with the writers and well ... had the nerve to respond well, she says Servimedia:
Pons told a group of journalists who have decided to refocus the program and labor force needed to pull it off, and "make them some approaches some writers who choose not to accept and for quitting. "
" The program continues, but this is an issue that I consider minor operational and day to day, "said the head of TVE. Tap your
eggs. In short, more information here
