  "account": "Zurich - Swiss telecommunications group Sunrise Communications plans to cut up to 450 full-time positions as part of a multi-year restructuring effort. The company announced this move on Monday, stating that it aims to significantly reduce costs in the medium term. Additionally, the company plans to review its supply contracts. With around 2,900 full-time employees, the company aims to make growth opportunities and innovation easier to pursue, faster to develop, and more widely implemented through a realignment of its business structure. A consultation process with the employee representation and the workers' union Syndicom is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. Employees in stores, sales, customer service, and trainees are largely or completely exempt from the job cuts. Sunrise had already laid off 147 positions in the spring. Earlier this year, Sunrise's CEO announced a new AI offensive, stating that money should not be a hindrance.",
