Tamedia lays off 21 employees
The media group Tamedia plans to lay off 21 employees in French-speaking Switzerland. The layoffs affect technical and maintenance staff at the three editorial offices in western Switzerland. The media company publishes the newspapers *La Tribune de Genève*, *24 heures*, and *Le Matin* there.
21 people have been informed of their imminent dismissal, confirmed Eric Budry from the editorial and staff association of the Tribune de Genève in reports from the newspapers Courrier and La Liberté on Saturday. The 5 employees affected in Geneva and the 16 in Lausanne are not employed by the individual newspapers, but directly by Tamedia. Their tasks are to be outsourced.
According to Budry, a strike is currently not an issue for the Tribune de Genève staff. However, they would like more information about the redundancies. It is strange that people whose services are indispensable for the editorial offices are being made redundant. (SDA)
