The Migros staff is demanding more wages, better employment contracts and more staff. This is justified with the great commitment during the corona pandemic and the record profit year of the retail giant last year.
Supported by the Unia union, the Migros staff is calling for a general wage increase of 2 percent, an increase in minimum wages by 100 francs, more staff, an end to “precarious employment contracts” and the expansion of the Migros L-GAV online -Trade, as stated in a message from Unia on Thursday.
On 30. October demonstrations for the recognition of essential professions are planned across Switzerland. “Now it’s our turn!” is the motto.
Migros had the highest profit in the “Corona year” 2020 retracted in the company’s history. The bottom line was that the “orange giant” had a net profit of 1.76 billion Swiss francs. That is more than twice as much as the previous record profit of 826 million from 2014.
The reason for the unprecedented rain of money was the sale of the Globus department store group with its large properties and the sale of the Glattzentrum just outside Zurich. Both together flushed a special profit of 1.25 billion francs into the Migros cash register.
