20 minutes/Le Matin Bleu: Management shows willingness to consult
The editorial teams at 20 minutes and Le Matin Bleu, together with Impressum Tamedia and Edipresse, have called for a consultation to be held before any layoffs take place. Management has now announced that it will accept comments from the editorial staff through the end of the week.
The editorial teams of the two free newspapers in French-speaking Switzerland and the Impressum trade union have called on Tamedia and Edipresse to carry out a consultation before making redundancies, as required by the CCT (CLA for the French-speaking Swiss press) and the Swiss Code of Obligations. On Tuesday, the management announced that it would be accepting comments from the editorial team until the end of the week. It is hoped that the proposals will be seriously considered, according to a communiqué issued on Tuesday. "This means that the decision on the redundancies can also be called into question again, even if the people who are to be made redundant have already been informed by the management."
