SRG: Negotiations on new CLA on the brink
For the first time in over 30 years, some 5,000 television and radio workers could find themselves without contracts starting next year—negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement are in danger of breaking down.
The current CLA expires at the end of the year, according to the Sonntagszeitung in its latest edition. Despite intensive negotiations, the delegates of SRG and the media union SSM have not yet been able to agree on a new contract. The SRG wants to make working hours more flexible and reduce compensation. But the SSM is standing in the way.
The fourth and final round of negotiations is now due to take place next week, as the Sonntagszeitung continues. The first three ended without results. According to the SSM, the SRG has already made it clear that neither renegotiations nor an interim solution are an option for them. This is an alarm signal for the media union. It fears for the long-standing social partnership.
