Better working conditions and more pay at Lidl

Bessere Arbeitsbedingungen und mehr Lohn bei Lidl

Guest

Lidl Switzerland is increasing wages and will pay a minimum wage of CHF 4,100 in future. This is clearly higher than Migros and Coop. The two industry giants in Switzerland pay gross minimum wages of 3900 francs. The trade unions had criticized the two retailers for their wage policy for the current financial year. Denner employees receive a slightly higher minimum wage, namely at least 4025 francs per month. However, Aldi employees are much better off. The minimum wage at Switzerland's fifth-largest retailer after Migros, Coop, Denner and Manor is CHF 4275.

Hello ivan92

I would like to add a comment to your comments. In addition to the salary, it is also worth looking at an employer's social benefits and pension fund. For example, Migros offers 18 weeks' maternity leave and 3 weeks' paid paternity leave and, if desired, 2 weeks' unpaid paternity leave. Migros also has a strong defined benefit pension fund with a high coverage ratio and makes an above-average BVG contribution. You can find more information here.

Hello Ivan

Yes, that may be, but have you looked at the job offers at Lidl and Aldi? At Aldi you can only work part-time, I think something between 50 and 80%. But the wages quoted are for 100%. Only when you prove yourself and do your job well can you work more. It's exactly the same at Lidl. The 4100.-- is for 100%. But there are only jobs, mostly anyway, up to about 50%. At least in the Zurich area. There are only 100% jobs for store managers. At least at the moment. I worked at Migrol at the end of the 90s and had a good salary back then. I also got a meal allowance, which I thought was brilliant. Migros' social system is really very good, there's no denying that. And even if you think that better BVG benefits aren't important at the moment, they could become important one day. For example, if you fall ill and receive an IV pension, you will receive a BVG pension. It depends on how you were insured. There are certainly other reasons. Back then, I also received regular pay rises, discounts on gasoline, etc.

I have a Lidl store here and I'm sure there are some things that are cheaper. However, last summer they had a fly problem with the fresh bread. That was less pleasant and I was happy to do without it for 30 or 40 centimes.

Kind regards

Hello

Yes, there are always those who find something to complain about at Lidl, but mostly it's just envy.

Although the bread and baked goods in many Lidl stores come from regional bakeries. Mind you, Lidl is still a relatively small fish in Switzerland compared to Coop and Migros, but Swiss products and products produced in Switzerland are steadily increasing, while those from Migros are decreasing.

If you want really good local products at very reasonable prices in everyday life, there's no getting around Lidl. Even those on low incomes can set their tables with good Swiss food every day.

Hello

You, I'm not saying anything bad about Lidl. I'm just saying how I feel about it. It was actually also about the wage issue, and you can't say that it's higher at Lidl because they 'only' employ part-time staff. I also shop in other stores. But since this is about Migros, I won't list the products ;)

I do have one small example. A few weeks ago, Migros had a strawberry promotion. I bought them. They were all gray the next day. It can happen. I've never had that at Lidl. Everyone has to know for themselves where they want to shop.
