Lausanne, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Two of the three unions representing workers at Edipresse, French-speaking Switzerland’s largest media group, have told the company to start serious negotiations about the conditions for layoffs or face possible industrial action.
The unions representing the print and the technical workers rejected the company’s layoff terms, Wednesday 28 October, and demanded “serious negotiations”. The company has until noon 2 November to respond. An agreement had been reached with Impressum, the union representing journalists, but the print and production workers are reluctant to accept the terms of the layoffs.
