Description
Fraport Slovenija, which manages the Slovenian airport Brnik in the vicinity of Ljubljana, announces that it will cut 120 jobs. The sharp decline of air traffic due to COVID-19 pandemic is the main reason for the significant reduction of the workforce. The company started to negotiate with three trade unions that oppose to dismissals claiming that government measures (the temporary lay-off and short-time scheme) could sufficiently help the company to overcome the crisis. On top of that, they claim that continued investment into passenger terminal proves that the company does not lack financial resources. The operator now employs 475 persons, so the reduction of the workforce will affect a quarter of the entire staff.
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.
