LT11 Radio celebrates 75 years amid labor and infrastructure disputes
LT11 Radio General Francisco Ramírez, a historic broadcaster in Concepción del Uruguay, recently marked its 75th anniversary. The milestone was celebrated with a public event at Plaza San Martin, featuring live music, local entrepreneurs, and community institutions despite inclement weather.
However, the anniversary coincides with significant labor and operational challenges. The CGT Regional Uruguay has issued a formal complaint regarding the station's current state, citing worker layoffs and wages that fail to meet basic needs. The union also criticized the impact of national government policies under President Javier Milei, alleging a decline in local cultural and informative content.
Additionally, the station's AM transmission capabilities have been compromised following the theft of cables from the transmitter plant. While the station remains a cultural pillar for the Uruguay Department, union representatives expressed concern over the lack of institutional response to these infrastructure and employment issues.
