In a report released last Friday, the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) announced that it is happy that measures introduced to accompany the signing of the free movement of people agreement with the European Union are being effectively implemented.
The federal laws on minimum pay, working conditions and collective labour agreements were put in place in order to prevent Swiss firms from 'wage dumping', or taking advantage of cheaper labour from the EU.
Despite recent complaints from trade unions in Switzerland that the local and federal authorities are not doing enough to protect minimum salaries and to ensure adequate working conditions, Seco revealed last week that it is "satisfied" with the government's action on the matter.
The Seco report additionally revealed that the number of EU residents seeking employment in Switzerland since the bilateral agreement was signed had not exceeded predictions.
