Pascal Hirt

“ The ECAP collective labour agreement is exemplary and sets a new standard for a sector in which working conditions are under severe pressure and are not well regulated. Collective labour agreements such as this one provide employees with the security and protection they need and deserve. After all, good working conditions are essential for the high-quality teaching that ECAP aims to provide. ”

Daniele Beltrametti
