(Local) An online job listing seeking a “Swiss” driver has caused outrage among members of Switzerland’s migrant community.
An online job ad for Schärer Transport AG, a logistics company based in the canton of St Gallen, has been called out for discrimination by Switzerland’s Federal Commission Against Racism (CFR).
“By emphasizing the desire to hire a ‘Helvetian’ and eating pork slices and sausages, we can assume that certain specific groups of the population are excluded,” Alma Wiecken, head of CFR, told Swiss daily 20 Minutes in response to furore at the online job listing.
The advert’s language also caused uproar among Swiss with a migrant background.
