May I remind you that the swiss people voted and rejected "guaranteed longer holidays" and also only just recently rejected guaranteed parental leave for fathers in the canton of Zurich. I don't have a lot of confidence in the swiss people when it comes to such things.
Also American style lobbying and advertising definitely exists in Switzerland.
- sschueller 4y agoThe holiday thing was too greedy. They wanted a mandatory 6 weeks when the current law is 4 weeks and many already have 5 weeks. They should have set it to 5 and it would have passed easily. Get the 6 at a later time.
- sureglymop 4y agoYou are probably right that that's why it was rejected. Still very surprising that this would be rejected by the citizens when unlike in other places every citizen actually has the ability to vote.
- Nathanba 4y agoI consider a population that rejects benefits for itself to be immensely confidence inspiring. To have the general population consider overall system productivity and stability and not just blindly vote for your own profit is pretty amazing.
- gruez 4y agoPresumably you're using this comment in support of rejecting "guaranteed longer holidays", but you can just as well use it to support "amending the constitution to treat them as not an employer".
