Following its legal transformation into a public limited company, national postal operator Swiss Post has announced it intends to start talks over a new collective agreement with trade union syndicom and the staff association transfair. Swiss Post is required by law to negotiate a labour contract within two years and expressed its intention to reach an agreement by 2014 in order to have the agreement come into force in 2015. Swiss Post said it is committed to being a socially responsible and attractive employer, offering decent wages and working conditions.
