#VET students drop out more often when the local economy is good, but what happens with dropouts' wages if such a good local economy turns bad in the following years?

What do local govts in Switzerland do when they’re unhappy with federal policy but lack formal channels to voice their concerns?

They threaten not to clear snow from the roads so federal officials can no longer reach the asylum centers they oppose. Protest as another form of intergovt lobbying!
