Description
Cimos, an international supplier of auto parts with five plants in Slovenia and six in Croatia, announced a collective dismissal of 200 workers in Slovenia. About 150 workers will lose their jobs due to the closure of the factory in Maribor and 50 more in Senožeče. Cimos, owned by the Italian group Palladio Holding since May 2017, is the most affected Slovenian automotive subcontractor by the COVID-19 pandemic. The management said that the decrease in sales revenue is the reason behind the restructuring. The company started negotiations with trade unions offering severance payments to dismissed workers, assistance in finding new employment and reemployment of some workers in Croatian plants.
Cimos now employs 2,600 workers altogether; 992 in Slovenia, among which 50 agency workers.

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.
