Migros is pushing to merge its ten regional cooperatives and centralise its headquarters in Zurich — a restructuring that could cost thousands of administrative jobs
One expert says the shake-up could affect up to 10,000 posts across Switzerland, with 25 percent of those cuts falling in Romandy.
The plan faces a steep hurdle: each regional cooperative holds an absolute veto, and approval requires a two-thirds majority on a 25 percent turnout.
The vote is heading for the ballot in 2027.
For the merger to pass, Migros will need to convince its consumer-members that centralisation actually brings down the weekly shopping bill.
