GF takes immediate measures to face the recent Swiss Franc appreciation

Reading time: min

GF and employee representatives have agreed on an increase of the working time at all Swiss sites. GF is tapping into the flexibility afforded by its collective labor agreement for such an occurrence.

Accordingly, all Swiss sites of GF will increase their working time to an average of 44 hours a week, with immediate effect. This measure is to last until the end of 2015 and will be reassessed within six months together with the employee representatives.

“This agreement will allow us to increase productivity and enhance the competitiveness of our Swiss-based activities. My heartfelt thanks go to our employees at all levels for their commitment to face this new challenge without delay”, says GF CEO Yves Serra.
