politician Switzerland

Urs Furrer is the director of the Swiss Trade Association, known for his strong opposition to proposed changes in labor laws that are tied to the EU contract negotiations. He argues that these changes, particularly regarding the expansion of dismissal protections for employee representatives, are unrelated to the EU contract and represent a fundamental challenge to the principles of a liberal labor market.
