SIPTU members in RTÉ are meeting with politicians this evening for a briefing on the future of public service broadcasting.
Union officials, along with RTÉ staff representatives and members of the Opposition, are in attendance to discuss the issue.
It follows a ballot last month which saw SIPTU members in RTÉ vote no confidence in a management plan for the future of the national broadcaster.
The union said its members had voted by a margin of 89% to reject the plan, which it said would result in the endless outsourcing of jobs at RTÉ and deal a fatal blow to public service broadcasting.
"Our members have sent a clear message, the current trajectory is not a 'new direction' but a dead end," said SIPTU Services Divisional Organiser, Adrian Kane.
"By eviscerating RTÉ's in-house production capacity, we are effectively reducing the national broadcaster to a mere publishing platform," Mr Kane said.
RTÉ has previously said it believes that the five-year strategy, now in its second year of implementation, offers the best way forward to secure the future of Ireland's national public service media and give more to Irish audiences in a much changed media landscape and with rapidly evolving audience habits.
"This strategy was published following extensive consultation with the public, RTÉ staff and a wider group of stakeholders. The vast majority of staff supported the need for RTÉ to evolve as outlined in the strategy during this consultation process," RTÉ has said.
