 The Swiss Association for Visual Communication Viscom published an economic policy manifesto on Thursday. In it, it sees international competitiveness at risk and wants to advocate simpler authorization procedures and lower surcharges for night work. The association will put forward this demand in the next negotiations for the collective labor agreement in the fall. Viscom does not want to give any concrete figures before the talks with the social partners, as reported by SDA.
In its "Manifesto on Economic Conditions", the association calls on its members to adjust prices to the changed cost structure. The association now offers export assistance and promotes further training by issuing vouchers for courses at the Training Institute for Corporate Management in the Graphic Arts Industry (Skugra).
