Edipresse: Employees defend themselves against dismissals
About 300 people took part in a rally on Monday in front of the building housing the Western Swiss media group Edipresse. They voiced their discontent over the announced job cuts.
Edipresse Switzerland has no major financial problems and the losses in advertising revenue are only due to the economic situation, said Bernard Remion from the Comedia trade union. Every effort must be made to avoid the redundancies. According to Remion, the cutbacks should be made by reducing workloads and early retirements.
