" The Collective Agreement in the Swiss metalworking industry contains a derogation clause widely applied after the appreciation of the Swiss currency in 2015. Management and works council can conclude agreements on a temporary extension of standard working time. This may be a bargaining chip for employees, if works councils are aware about and make use of their negotiating power."
