Employees of the Persian language service of Voice of America, whom the Donald Trump administration removed from work, returned to fulfill their duties against the backdrop of an exacerbation of confrontation between Iran and Israel.
The US Agency for the Global Media ordered the relevant employees to be sent on administrative leave, immediately return to the performance of their duties. The politician reports that with reference to the relevant email and three people familiar with the situation.
From now on, you remember from the administrative vacation, ”said in an electronic letter from the USAGM personnel department. – It is expected that you will immediately appear at the place of service.
In the Voice of America service, whose broadcasting takes place in Farsi (Persian), which is mainly being said in Iran, there are 75 full -time employees. It is believed that the majority, if not all, returned to work after three months of administrative leave.
The Persian voice service of America was closed as part of the post of President Donald Trump on March 15 on the elimination of the world media supported by the United States, which, among other things, belonged to the voice of America.
Since then, the voice of America suffered from trials, as well as discussions in the company. Over the past few weeks, employees began to report the reduction gradually.
Petsi Decayvar, the head of the Bureau of America in the White House and one of the main plaintiffs in the lawsuit of the Voice of America against the administration of Trump, said that this step is a great example of why the voice of America should return completely.
After several months of absence, we have already lost a lot of audience and trust, ”she said. They must return us all so that we can answer the latest news in all corners of the world.
It is noted that usually the Voice of America is largely trusted by contractors, but last month the administration has stopped an agreement with most of them.
This only shows how idiotic they are if you continue this scheme of dismissal and repetition, which costs the Americans, it is not known how many millions of dollars, ”said one of the officers of America’s voice in the context of administrative leave. – This is a real fraud, waste and abuse.
