Uniforms of the Swiss PTT
Up to 1991, seven different ordinances and regulations existed for the uniforms of the Swiss PTT . Each one contains a description of the official clothes , broken down according to the official position. Each garment is described in detail in a separate section.
history
1897
In the ordinance on the delivery of uniforms to officials and employees of the postal administration of December 3, 1897, it was stipulated that all officials and employees of the postal administration are obliged to wear official clothing during their official functions. All employees in post offices ( inside service ) and post offices (field service ) such as post office holders , post office holders , country mail carriers and country couriers were provided with uniforms. When distributing the uniforms, the officials and employees were divided into different categories, the equipment of which was set out separately. The following categories were relevant for the PTT:
1. The officials
2. The postman, the post holder, country postman and country messenger
3. Employees at Bureaux 1st and 2nd class
4. Other staff
For the postilions as employees of the postal horse owners and Postfürungsunternehmer were separate rules: They were made contrary to the categories 1-4 only part of their uniforms free of charge. So-called private assistants of civil servants and employees received their uniforms from their superiors.
1931
With the introduction of the regulations on official clothes in 1931, the following changes came into effect: Postillons now only had to wear a hat band. From 1931 they were no longer given uniforms. The other civil servants and employees were still equipped in accordance with the ordinance of 1897, whereby the regulations of 1931 contain a table listing who receives which items of clothing. From this year onwards, a certain length of time was stipulated for each item of clothing.
1933
In 1933, people employed exclusively in the internal service (offices, workshops, etc.) were excluded from wearing official clothing. Badges of rank are listed in the table description in these regulations . For example, a sub-office manager received three gold galons for his pants.
1936
According to the regulations on uniforms of January 1, 1936, only those officials were provided with uniforms who "are to be identified in public , are exposed to the weather or whose clothing is subject to considerable wear and tear or soiling as a result of their official work ". The employees were no longer mentioned. This change was based on the Official Regulations I of October 24, 1930. In these regulations, too, the official badges of rank of the officials were listed in the tabular listing of the official dresses. The official clothes remained in the possession of the administration until the end of the prescribed wearing time. After their replacement, the decommissioned uniforms passed into the possession of the respective official.
1959
From 1959 on, uniforms could be bought by the administration from people who are not entitled to purchase them. In addition, giving away uniforms to third parties was expressly prohibited. The drivers and car men who replaced the postilons were given an armband that they had to wear while they were on duty. In the tabular listing of service clothing in the appendix, there are no more badges of rank, which means that service clothing has lost its military-uniform character.
1980
With the introduction of the "Personnel Regulations, Uniforms" in 1980, a point system was introduced for the handover of uniforms. The employees received an annual quota of points, which was based on the type and duration of the employment. The handover of the uniforms was therefore no longer tied to a fixed date, but could take place according to the needs of the employees. However, a so-called standard wearing period still applied to the items of clothing.
1991
In the personnel regulations from 1991 there are no significant changes compared to 1980.
