# Silvia Intxaurrondo and RTVE labor dispute > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/silvia-intxaurrondo-and-rtve-labor-dispute > Updated: 2026-09-15T15:28:21.000Z. Sources: 15. Developments: 2. Journalist Silvia Intxaurrondo has seen significant viewership growth as the leader of the RTVE morning magazine ‘La Hora de La 1’, with audience shares rising from 8.4% in the 2021-2022 season to 18.8% by the end of the 2025-2026 season. Parallel to this professional success, Intxaurrondo was engaged in a legal dispute with RTVE concerning her employment status and contract conditions. Following a Labor Inspection into her previous contracting model, RTVE attempted to transition her to permanent staff under a standard collective bargaining agreement, which would have reduced her annual income from approximately 254,000 euros to roughly 140,814 euros. A court ruling has since resolved the dispute, securing Intxaurrondo’s previous salary level. The judge ordered that the difference between the standard agreement and her previous earnings be provided through salary supplements tied specifically to her responsibilities with ‘La Hora de La 1’. While the court rejected certain claims regarding travel expenses and the illegal transfer of workers, the ruling ensures her compensation remains intact while she continues her roles as presenter and director. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-15: Silvia Intxaurrondo wins legal battle against RTVE over salary Journalist Silvia Intxaurrondo has won a lawsuit against RTVE, securing her previous annual salary of over 250,000 euros for her work on ‘La Hora de La 1’. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/silvia-intxaurrondo-wins-legal-battle-against-rtve-over-salary ### 2026-09-05: Silvia Intxaurrondo marks five years at RTVE as program ratings hit record highs Silvia Intxaurrondo marks five years at RTVE’s ‘La Hora de La 1’ with record audience shares, despite ongoing legal disputes with the network.
