TPG strike still going ahead

Wednesday, 22 June 2022 06:30

Following an unsuccessful meeting, a planned strike by public transport workers in Geneva is still set to go ahead.

Workers want their pay to be linked with inflation.

Unions had already given notice they plan to strike on June 28th – and at the moment, that’s going to happen.

Managers at the public transport company, the TPG, say they will reflect on the meeting before making any further comment.

Previously they’ve said the union proposals will cost CHF 3m, money they don’t have – says the company.
