The trade union Unia is disappointed by the "despondent" decision of the Federal Supreme Court. This decision is a serious blow for women in Switzerland, it said in a press release.
Women are being cheated out of a whole year's pension in a system that already puts them at a disadvantage, said Unia President Vania Alleva in a statement on Thursday. Solutions are needed that substantially improve women's pensions.
Unia is now calling on politicians to take concrete measures such as "fairer wages for women, recognition of unpaid care work in the social security system and closing the large pension gap".
