It is unusual, if a Board of Directors occurs, the President, at a media conference. Normally, the group chief Executive and the chief financial officer are authorized to to the Public the Figures for the past financial year to present and explain. If the Post the result of 2018, presented on Thursday morning in Bern in front of the media, will talk according to the invitation Post-President Urs Schwaller .
This suggests that the processing of the post-car is going to be the affair is an important issue. Schwaller was busy in the past year, in order to get the scandal of the accounting tricks in the case of subsidies in the handle.
What the Post has reached the President? Schwaller is in June 2016 in the office. His balance is mixed: In the crisis year of 2018 he has achieved in the post-car-scandal important progress. But strategically, the yellow giant still has big problems, such as in years of declining profit.
The post car scandal Schwaller practicing in the role of Aufräumers: An external study has described the mechanisms of the fraud. The Management of the postal car was replaced completely. Further, the state has close operation with 24 cantons agreed, a total of 205 million Swiss francs to a lot of subsidies to repay.
In April, occurs also with Roberto Cirillo a new Post-chief, after Susanne Ruoff had stumbled across the post car affair. Whether Schwaller, however, has met with Cirillo a good choice, it is not clear that the new post-chief is largely unknown.
workers are calling for more transparency
The social partners, see Schwaller critical: “The Board of Directors and the President have acted in dealing with the post-car affair, too passive and too tight to damage limitation,” says Christian Capacoel of the Union Syndicom . The Supervisory Board, to Schwaller had failed to take the scandal for a change of course in the strategy to the occasion. “The Post office and the Federal Council should focus less on the pursuit of profit, and focus instead on their core business, public Service, think again,”, so Capacoel. He talks on the cutbacks in the post office network, its subsidiaries, offer no full service.
The staff Association of the Postal employees calls from the Post office a new culture of transparency, and loss of trust. So it should be prevented that the post-car-fought affair on the backs of the employees, says René, Prince of Transfair. “We will protect the employment conditions of our employees, so that they do not have to suffer the consequences.” A fear is that the cantons of shopping in the future less benefits from Postbus and it is, therefore, to a reduction in staff.
Open sites
Strategically, can give Schwaller the yellow giant no pulses: The branch network is in the red, the shipping on the letter post fell. In the case of post Finance, the interest rate the way to break the revenue for the next years, the subsidiary of the Post office should not pay dividend. And in the digital future, projects such as transport drones and delivery robot had to accept the Post setbacks. Insider references, however, to the fact that the President was most recently busy with crisis management.
is Open, what are the criminal consequences of the post-car has an affair. It is known that the Federal police are investigating against former Postbus chief Daniel Landolf, and its chief financial officer. According to the wording of the law, the criminal investigators of the Office throw the two former managers, “to have fraudulently the services of the community is difficult”. For both the presumption of innocence applies.
“The errors in the System is not resolved with the refurbishment.” the Jürg Large , President of the green liberal
The policy will hear on Thursday also exactly what has to report to Schwaller. Except in the SVP of the Post is criticized-the President of anyone in the open. “We want to know exactly what time is Urs Schwaller knew what and when as corrective action has interfered with”, says SVP-national Council Adrian Amstutz (BE). It’s all on the table. The crucial question is: “didn’t look Schwaller closely, or he knew something and not acted?”
In the case of the other parties, it is widely the view, the processing was well in the pipeline and will be carried out by the authorities. “We must look forward,” says the Solothurn FDP-Nationalrat Kurt Fluri . You have to consider whether the Postbus AG could not be outsourced. “Then it comes to such profit shifts with subsidies,” he says.
Jürg Grossen, President of the green liberal, agrees: “The errors in the System is not resolved with the refurbishment.” The interdependence and the many hats of the state and state-related businesses would lead to such scandals, just in other areas.
The transport Commission are expected in March, a report by the Federal Council on Corporate Governance at Swisscom, Swiss Post and SBB. 20 years after the independence, it was the right time to discuss basically about how the responsibilities are organized, says the President of the Commission Edith Graf-Litscher (SP, TG).
Post rejects allegations
The Post rejects criticism of its President. In “probably the most turbulent year” the history of the company, the Board of Directors have adopted several measures, communicated and implemented, says spokeswoman Léa Wertheimer. It refers, inter alia, the payments to the cantons and the waiver of requirements for the operating profit of the post office car for the past fiscal year.
Schwaller had already been granted last summer, self-critical, he would have had to be Reports, with current Knowledge, after taking up his post in June 2016 in the case of conscience to the attention of the top management in light of-hearing.
