The Swiss Employer's Association (in German Schweizerischer Arbeitgeberverband, in French: Union patronale Suisse, in Italian: Unione Svizzera degli imprenditori) is one of the three umbrella organizations of the Swiss economy, alongside Economiesuisse and the Swiss Union of Arts and Crafts.[1]
As of 2023, the organization comprised 45 professional organizations, 31 regional associations, and four individual members.[2]
History
Founded in 1908, it was called the Central Union of Swiss Employers' Associations until 1996.[2]
Role
The Swiss Employer's Association is particularly active in three areas:
- Labor market (labor law, social partnership, occupational safety and health, etc.);
- Vocational training;
- Social and political insurance.
Its purpose is not to offer services, but to defend the positions of its members with political, administrative and media actors.[1]
