Further job cuts at AZ Medien
AZ Medien is cutting a further 25 jobs this year. There will be six redundancies and 15 positions will no longer be filled following departures. AZ Medien had already cut a total of 95 jobs in the two previous years.
The majority of the jobs will be lost in the editorial offices and publishing houses of daily newspapers and magazines. Company spokeswoman Eva Keller confirmed a report by the media portal Persönlich to the news agency SDA on Tuesday. There are also reductions in workloads and early retirements, Keller said. The cutbacks had already been announced at the end of March. AZ Medien posted a loss of CHF 14.8 million in the 2009 financial year.
According to Peter Wanner's media company, it is aiming for a "black zero" in the current year. The media union Comedia criticized in a press release on Tuesday that the employees had not been consulted. There is no real social plan. A "climate of uncertainty" has prevailed in the companies for months.
