If you assume that your salary is cut in half, you will be irritated - to say the least. The same thing is threatening the top managers of the Swiss Post, the SBB and Swisscom, assuming the "Pro Service Public" initiative is accepted. But the top managers have probably never seen the man who wants to cut the federal companies back to their original form: the initiator, René Schuhmacher, is the most discreet major publisher in Switzerland.

An anti-Köppel: He rarely gives interviews and lebanon rcs data was persona non grata for a long time with the publishers' association. But his magazines Saldo and K-Tipp reach over a million readers, many of whom are dissatisfied. Six years ago he celebrated a triumphant victory with the "pension theft" initiative.

The same thing could happen again in June. Although it was unanimously rejected by the entire political pie, the "Pro Service Public" initiative is ahead according to recent polls. The pebble could soon trigger a tsunami. Acceptance would change more than just management salaries. But the opponents are asleep, everyone is talking about basic income, dairy cows and asylum. But the music is playing elsewhere: namely with the "Pro Service Public" initiative.

At the moment, the race is on for Schuhmacher. He is now receiving indirect support from an unusual source. Federal Councilor Leuthard reprimanded the SBB for the poor internet reception on trains. This is more than embarrassing, said the media minister. A perfect opportunity for Schuhmacher, who is calling for a strong public service? Hardly. He once explained that he never uses his cell phone on public transport.
