Publishers demand lower wages
Wage Negotiations: The Swiss Press Association is calling for a 3.5 percent reduction in minimum wages for journalists. It cites the slump in the advertising market as the reason for this.
The Comedia and Impressum unions, on the other hand, are demanding a 3% increase to compensate for inflation, rising health insurance premiums and productivity trends. The negotiations were broken off without result, meaning that an arbitration tribunal must now decide.
