Hugo Triner: Publisher stands up for newspaper publishers
Hugo Triner, a publisher from Schwyz who publishes the daily newspaper *Bote der Urschweiz*, has criticized the wages of newspaper delivery workers. He is calling on the delivery company Presto to refrain from implementing planned wage cuts.
Triner submitted his concerns in an open letter in his newspaper on Saturday. According to the letter, Presto will reduce the wages of those who deliver the messenger of the Urschweiz in the morning by at least five percent from March 2011. It is unfair to cut the wages of those people who earn the least, writes Triner. The newspaper carriers do a very important and good job for his company. He is therefore prepared to bear the additional costs.
Presto is a subsidiary of Swiss Post. Triner is also addressing his appeal to the publishers NZZ and Tamedia, which are also on the Presto Board of Directors. The three companies merged their shareholdings in various distribution organizations in 2008.
