Courier service: Swiss Post plans cuts and expects up to 70 layoffs at PostBus

Swiss Post is making savings and expects up to 70 redundancies, mainly in the administration of Autobús Postal. In addition, up to 200 employees will have to wait for contract changes, as Post Suisse announced on Friday. Around 3,750 people work in mobility services.

Postbus driving and control service employees are not affected by the job cuts, Post Switzerland announced on Friday. Job cuts must be implemented in the most socially responsible way possible. There is a corresponding social plan. The measures will not have an impact on passengers.

Swiss Post aims to be more efficient in the mobility sector and reduce costs, he added. Specifically, savings must be made in management and administration structures. Swiss Post thus contributes to the current savings plans of the Confederation, the cantons and the municipalities. These authorities order and co-finance regional and local passenger transport services.
