Pierre-Yves Maillard, President of the Swiss Trade Union Federation, emphasizes the need for strong protections for Swiss public services and wages in the upcoming negotiations between Switzerland and the EU. He warns that without these protections, liberalization might threaten local jobs and services. Maillard, boosted by a recent triumph in social policy, is determined to counter any weakening of the Swiss public service during discussions. He believes the electorate will ultimately reject any attempts at liberalization by the government.
