Asylum policy, Credit Suisse and hotel rates

Sunday Press

Germany accuses Switzerland of selfishness, fewer and fewer employees from their home countries work at Credit Suisse and hotel rates are rising.

Switzerland is under heavy criticism from Germany when it comes to its asylum policy.

A spokesman for Germany’s Federal Office for Migration said this was a violation of the Dublin Convention: “The legal situation is clear.” Lindholz calls for intervention in the Federal Council because more and more immigrants are traveling to Germany via Switzerland.

And in the context of the latest restructuring, announced by CS management about Ulrich Körner and Axel Lehmann this week, another 2,000 jobs will be lost in Switzerland. For the foreseeable future, Credit Suisse will employ half as many people in this country as it did at the turn of the millennium. Given this decline, Michael von Felten (62), president of the Swiss Bank Staff Association, raised the question of how much Switzerland is in a bank that calls itself Credit Suisse. “Major banks around the world benefit from the Swissness brand, which continues to represent security and trust. As a result, they also have a special responsibility for employees and jobs in Switzerland.”

Switzerland’s deflation rate is particularly bitter because US investment bankers are primarily responsible for the current crisis. “Swiss employees are working very successfully, and therefore form the basis for sound business development in CS,” says Andreas Wendetti, 50, a financial analyst from Vontobel Bank. In light of this, Venditti missed the fact that Swiss business was not given more emphasis in the presentation by Korner and Lehmann. “This annoys the staff.”
