Phone company going to court

A Swisscom technician who spent 38 years at the company says he was fired for helping his 80-year-old neighbour cancel a subscription she never wanted

Sébastien Perriard accompanied the pensioner to the Swisscom shop in Bulle to contest the contract; the company decided he had been too aggressive with staff and dismissed him.

Perriard is now taking Swisscom to the Fribourg labour court, arguing the sacking was abusive.

His union Syndicom is backing him and demanding six months' salary in compensation.
