Letter from Bectu union to the Culture Secretary on Robbie Gibb
Recent events have heightened the concerns of Bectu members about the direction of the BBC and its future. Staff are concerned about the forthcoming Charter Review amid open speculation about the future funding model. They are unsurprisingly anxious about entering this process with a vacuum of leadership and without a new Director General in place. And they are concerned about the BBC’s ability to resist partisan political pressure and uphold the integrity of its journalism. “It is vital that staff feel that both the government and the BBC board are truly committed to the future of the organisation, its mission, its independence and its values. Given this, we believe that the position of Sir Robbie Gibb on the BBC board has become a distraction and is untenable. We simply do not see how staff can have faith in the BBC’s leadership while a crucial position on the board is filled by someone perceived by many staff and external commentators as sympathetic to, or actively part of, a campaign to undermine the BBC and influence its political impartiality.”
