DMC restructuring: 400 western Swiss delivery staff affected by advertising mailings
Nearly 400 people in French-speaking Switzerland could lose their jobs due to the restructuring of the Swiss Post subsidiary Direct Mail Company (DMC). This was stated by union representative Diego Frieden, who is responsible for labor-management relations with DMC.
The Vaud commune of Bussigny is the most affected in western Switzerland, with 200 employees, Frieden said Thursday in an interview with the Fribourg newspaper La Liberté said. The Transfair unionist expects 60 people in Fribourg and 150 people in Grand-Lancy GE to lose their jobs.
Swiss Post announced Wednesday that it will discontinue DMC in 2024. This means that 3,855 delivery staff with part-time jobs will be put on the street.
Swiss Post has launched a consultation process with employees. It will last until November 13. The unions demanded an extension of this deadline. They also demanded that the yellow giant make all those affected a job offer within the Group. (SDA)
