The Federal Council should have granted a salary of over 1 Million Swiss francs for the SBB CEO Andreas Meyer, because Meyer would have otherwise terminated maybe. The “NZZ am Sonntag”. Became the Federal Council to the risk of blackmail?
If this is the case, then that is absolutely unacceptable. It may not be the case that the Federal Council is the chief of a state-owned operation to perform. Any other employee would have to be expected after such an Affront the consequences.
you in Parliament have demanded a Wage ceiling of 500’000 Swiss francs for the chiefs of the SBB , a Post office, and so on.
In the national Council, I found this Motion very broad support. Actually, I would have expected that the SBB-tip has the necessary sensitivity, this Signal to perceive and moderate the wages . Unfortunately, I was wrong.
your proposal was rejected last year in the Council of States, because Ueli Maurer introduced a salary cap of 1 Million Swiss francs. Now the Federal Council has approved, nevertheless, an exception for the CEO of the SBB. The Federal Council is too weak?
Absolutely. A Problem is, however, that the Council of States has placed on the ownership of state-owned enterprises, instead of supporting my Motion. Now has been shown: The greed is in the Management of more than self-responsibility. Maybe I need to take with my Motion for a new start-up. In any case, this of course must be pushed to operate mentality is a tie.
What would, in your view, a reasonable wage for a SBB-CEO?
My reference is the salary of a Federal Council. First, because this is a very, very good wage. We speak of a year’s salary including allowances of approximately 800’000 Swiss francs. Secondly, this wage helps, the primacy of politics.
What does that mean?
the heads of The Post, SBB, Ruag, and other Federal establishments must understand that they are in the private sector. SBB chief Andreas Meyer is ultimately nothing more than a very well-paid official. But, this squad on a Pseudo-market economy, in order to justify their exorbitant Salaries.
SBB are a very complex company . If you want to have the best people, you must also pay good wages. Right?
When I look at what happened at the Post office, I would be glad if you would have only brought the second-best people. The so-called Best have not convinced.
This doesn’t change the fact that the heads of state-owned enterprises could earn more money in business.
your approach assumes that the Manager salaries of a functioning market.
What do you want?
On a functioning market, supply and demand are in a healthy relationship, and determine the price. The top salaries and fat-cat bonuses, of which we hear at the Moment, have to do with it but nothing. Rather, it is a closed circuit, which is dominated by a small caste. The Board of Directors and business lines up to drive each other on their Salaries. The people approved the Minder Initiative is not effective here, unfortunately. Therefore, we need to think seriously about new ways on how these excesses can be restricted.
