Sixty employees have delivered a medical certificate in recent days, near public transportation to Basel. They denounced an unstable situation for their work.
On July 15th, the readers of the Basil Canton had reported via the newspaper “20 Minuten” for public transport failure. The reason: 60 BVB employees were “off”, after they handed in a medical certificate. The remaining staff was unable to provide effective service.
