Economiesuisse and the Swiss Employers' Association (SAV) gave their assessment of the treaty package with the European Union at a media conference in Zurich on Friday. The business community draws a positive conclusion on the foreign policy package negotiated with the EU and supports it, they said.
However, the business community sees a need for adjustment in the implementation of the agreement texts into Swiss law. What is needed is "a lean and business-friendly implementation of the agreements in Swiss legislation", the associations write.
In addition, the flexible labor market must be preserved. The measures proposed by the Federal Council in the area of protection against dismissal are clearly rejected. The national government is proposing improved protection against dismissal for elected employee representatives, for members of an employee pension fund body and for members of national industry boards who work under a collective employment agreement that has been declared generally binding.
