Syndicom: Local.ch CLA should also apply to Search.ch
The Syndicom union welcomes the agreement between Swisscom and Tamedia to merge the service providers Local.ch and Search.ch into a joint subsidiary. For Syndicom, it is clear that the future company must be subject to the Local.ch collective bargaining agreement.
The end of the bidding war will put an end to price gouging on the stock exchange, Syndicom wrote in a press release on Wednesday, calling for the new joint venture to be subject to Local.ch's collective labor agreement (CLA). The clear ownership structure, with Swisscom holding a 69 percent majority stake, offers the employees of Local.ch and Search.ch good future prospects of being subject to the Local.ch CLA and thus benefiting from good working conditions. Syndicom appealed to Tamedia and Swisscom to assume their social responsibility towards their employees and not to make any job cuts. All Search.ch and Local.ch employees should continue to be employed on an equal footing.
