Description
As announced on 16. January 2020, the German retail and coffee company Tchibo will gradually leave its distribution centre in Gallin until 2023, which will result in the loss of approximately 600 jobs. According to Tchibo, the logistic requirements have drastically changed in the last couple of years, making this closure necessary.
In future, Tchibo will supply all its European sites from Bremen, Neumarkt and Cheb (Czech Republic). The management announced that it will use the extended timeframe to find acceptable solutions for all employees.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
