The Board of Directors and the Executive Management Board immediately contacted the social partner organisations and cantonal authorities for the purpose of carefully planning the current redundancies with the involvement of all stakeholders in a socially responsible manner. The goal of this is to sustainably secure the remaining 30 to 40 positions at Cham in Research & Development (Digital Imaging), Marketing & Sales, Small roll processing and Group administration.
During the three-week consultation period, proposals for alternative solutions could be submitted to the employee representation committee of the mill in Cham. The consultation period ended on 14 September. No petitions were received from the employee representation committee during this period. The Executive Management Board will now initiate talks as planned with the social partner organisations for the purpose of fleshing out the details of the redundancy scheme with a view to finalising the scheme in the 4Q 2014.
