The awarding of a major order for rolling stock to Siemens by the CFF is an “incomprehensible decision”, said the Swiss Machinery Industry Group (GIM) and the Geneva Industrial Union (UIG) in a press release released on Sunday, November 9. According to these two organizations, this choice “deals a hard blow to the national industrial fabric and its thousands of jobs”. By excluding the Swiss Stadler Rail from this market, have the CFF betrayed the local economic fabric? Samuel Vuadens, president of GIM, details the position of industrialists.
