TV5 demands a BOND

 

To avoid staff from going out as and when they get a higher pay, TV5 has decided to ask for an undertaking from its staff.  Those who are joining the channel have to sign a bond to the effect that they will serve the organisation atleast for two years. In fact, Asianet has already been implementing this in an other form by taking staff on a 2 year contract basis. However, there is no mention about the periodical revision of salaries and hence those who wish to join are in a dilemma whether to accept the bond condition or not. Since one way bonds are legally invalid, journalists who have already signed such bonds are violating very casually.
