Negotiations between the journalists' association Impressum and the publishers' association Schweizer Presse on a new CLA for French-speaking Switzerland have all but collapsed.
Negotiations between the journalists' association Impressum and the publishers' association Schweizer Presse on a new CLA for French-speaking Switzerland have all but collapsed.
The French-speaking Swiss journalists' association Impressum is disappointed with the outcome of the CLA negotiations. The publishers have rejected practically all of the union's demands. The Swiss Press Publishers Association only made concessions with regard to salary levels. The unions described the negotiations as a failure.
In contrast to the journalists, the publishers were cautiously optimistic: "At least it hasn't come to a big bang," the general secretary of the publishers' association, Alfred Haas, told SDA. This at least shows that both sides are interested in reaching an agreement. The result will now be submitted to the association's management. The union will be informed of the publishers' decision before their congress. On October 27, Impressum will discuss the next steps with the rank and file.
