Facts employees are disappointed

 On Tuesday evening, the employees of the discontinued Facts magazine met with representatives of Tamedia management. According to a statement from Comedia and Impressum, however, the editorial staff and the unions left the meeting disappointed. The management refused to enter into negotiations on a "decent social plan", the unions write. The management only wanted to accept individual demands from those affected for consideration, the communiqué continued. In the afternoon, those affected had already announced during a one-hour protest break that they expected the meeting to result in binding negotiations on the social plan (see
). The employees therefore want to further vent their displeasure at Tamedia's Extraordinary General Meeting on Wednesday.
As Tamedia spokesman Christoph Zimmer told Werbewoche, Tamedia is accommodating its employees by, among other things, extending the notice periods or paying a wage compensation for a maximum of eight months.
