Despite a record economic year in 2023, the employers' associations are not prepared to increase the minimum wage. Never before have so many overnight stays been recorded, the Unia and Syna trade unions and the Hotel and Catering Union employee association jointly announced on Monday. The forecasts for 2024 are also good.
Many employees have been struggling with a loss of purchasing power for years, they added. Inflation, health insurance premiums and rent increases are a problem throughout Switzerland. According to the Federal Statistical Office (FSO), real wages in the hospitality industry have been falling since 2017.
