Transfair

Transfair is a trade union representing public sector workers in Switzerland.

For the certification system, see Fairtrade certification.

The union was founded on 1 January 2000, when the Swiss Union of Christian Postal, Telephone and Telegraph Personnel merged with the Christian Union of Transport, Military and Customs and the Union of Christian Government Personnel. The unions had previously co-operated for many years in the Association of Trade Unions of Christian Transport and State Personnel.[1]

Like all its predecessors, Transfair affiliated to the Christian National Union Confederation (CNG). It initially had about 20,000 members.[2] In 2002, the CNG became part of Travail.Suisse, and Transfair transferred over. In 2012, it absorbed the Swisscom Management Association, followed in 2016 by the EPH Staff Association.[1]

By 2019, its membership was down to 10,263.[3]
