Social Partnership and CLA

At Migros, social partnership is a stance based on the representativeness, the expertise and the professionalism of hundreds of elected staff representatives, who sit on the boards of directors, the personnel policy committees of Migros companies and on the National Committee of the Migros Group. The collective labour agreements at Migros are therefore always the collective labour agreements of Migros employees.

Renewal of Collective Labour Agreements

Migros' national collective labour agreement (N-CLA) has a model and pacesetting function for 29 sectors and markets. On 1 January 2011 the first collective labour agreement for the Swiss travel industry came into force with CLA Travel. This was an initiative of the employees of the travel unit. The negotiations on a new collective labour agreement between Globus AG, Office World AG and Interio AG, as well as their social partners, were also completed successfully. CLA remains the sole exclusive collective labour agreement in the department store sector, clothing retailing, stationery retailing and the furniture and interior decorating sector.
