Swiss Post and trade unions agree on new CEC

04.03.2015, Swiss Post, the trade union syndicom and the staff association transfair have concluded negotiations on new collective employment contracts (CEC) for Post CH Ltd, PostBus Switzerland Ltd and PostFinance Ltd. They were able to agree upon an overall package which takes the needs of both the company and the employees into consideration. The result of the negotiations must still be confirmed by the decision-making committees of all the social partners.

Each of the three subsidiaries, Post CH Ltd, PostBus Switzerland Ltd and PostFinance Ltd, will receive a new collective employment contract, whose main points are regulated in an overriding umbrella CEC and are applicable to all three subsidiaries. The parties agreed on contracts which protect the interests of the company as well as those of its employees. Furthermore, social changes and the new legal regulatory framework have both been taken into consideration.

Employment conditions have now also been negotiated for drivers employed by PostBus operators with staff regulations. These are now fundamentally identical to those for drivers employed by PostBus Switzerland Ltd.

The decision-making committees of all the social partners must still ratify the results of the negotiations. The expected date for ratification is the end of April 2015. The new CEC comes into effect on 1 January 2016 and is valid until the end of 2018. Following the ratification, negotiations on the employment conditions for other subsidiaries will begin. These negotiations are expected to be concluded by the end of 2015.
