Edipresse: Social plan in place
Edipresse, the staff and the Impressum journalists' association agreed on a social plan for the various editorial offices on Tuesday. For example, a basis of assessment for severance payments was defined according to age, function and years of service.
According to SDA, Impressum described the redundancy plan as "correct in view of the current economic situation". The trade union Comedia, on the other hand, was skeptical: it regrets "the blatant lack of will on the part of Edipresse management to avoid redundancies". Edipresse itself emphasized in a statement that the proposed measures were more generous than required by law. Among other things, the plan includes financial benefits for those who wish to become self-employed. A fund for hardship cases is also planned. The company is also offering compensation to those who voluntarily resign or reduce their workload. Interested parties can register until Monday.
At the beginning of October, the French-speaking Swiss media company announced redundancies: 30 jobs in the editorial offices, 50 in the print shop and 20 in production. Among other publications, the newspapers Le Matin, 24 heures and Tribune de Genève are affected by the redundancies.
