Swiss Post CECs extended until the end of 2020
Swiss Post has reported that the unions and staff association have agreed ahead of schedule to extend the collective employment contracts (CECs) for Post CH, PostFinance and PostBus by a further two years until 31 December 2020. In a statement issued today (11 July), Swiss Post said: “The current collective employment contracts (CECs) – the key elements of which are governed by an umbrella CEC – have applied since 1 January 2016. They are limited to a three-year period and were set to be renegotiated on 1 January 2019. The social partners have now agreed to extend the existing CECs by a further two years ahead of schedule. By taking this step, Swiss Post has provided its workforce with a degree of stability and security relating to employment conditions.”
However, Swiss Post added: “Specific issues will be addressed by the social partners on an individual basis in view of different developments in the various markets. The social partners will also discuss the development of the redundancy plan which was last amended in 2011.”
