Coronavirus: what are my rights?

Do I have a right to get paid if I am sent home with a fever? Is my employer allowed to order a quarantine? Here you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions.

More Democracy at Work is a Must!

This demand by trade unions throughout Europe is more important than ever. COVID-19 has turned the working world upside down. Layoffs, restructuring, workplace safety: Workers are directly affected, but hardly have any say. That needs to change! Unia supports this petition.

Working Conditions in Switzerland

Employees enjoy only limited protection under Swiss law. The best protection is offered by collective labour agreements negotiated between trade unions and employers.

Knowing Your Rights

Do you know your rights as an employee without a Swiss passport? Do you want to bring your family to Switzerland? Unia members receive information and support on all matters related to residential status.
