Canal Sur exam materials leak before official announcement
Confidential civil service exam content circulates weeks early, sparking investigation calls from unions.
What to know
- Confidential exam materials for Canal Sur's first civil service recruitment in 18 years leaked at least two weeks before official publication, circulating internally and to external test prep companies.
- The Consejo de Administración and union negotiators were bound by confidentiality protocols, making the breach a security violation that sparked calls for a formal investigation.
- RTVA management denied knowledge of external leaks while worker representatives report having warned management of circulation 'since early September,' raising questions about internal communication and document control.
- The timing is critical: the exam bases were finalized July 30, but the official BOJA publication has not yet occurred, and unions want confirmation that leaked materials match the final approved version.
