Switzerland - Union plans action over childcare workers’ pay and conditions - April 16, 2010

The VPÖD/SSP public services union is considering what action it can take to improve pay and conditions of childcare workers (“Kitas”). The union argues that the responsibilities and physical strains of the job are not properly recognised. VPÖD/SSP has noted the success of the German ver.di union last year in its campaign to win higher pay and improved working conditions for childcare workers; meetings at the end of April in Zürich and Bern will discuss strategy with contributions from colleagues in ver.di.
