Description
The aeronautical subcontractor BT2i has announced a reorganisation with 199 job cuts in its various subsidiaries in France. The reorganisation involves the closure of the site of its subsidiary Simair at Colomiers (Haute-Garonne, 49 employees). Other job cuts will take place at the following sites: Simair, based in Rochefort (Charente-Maritime) will be affected by 11 job cuts out of 190; Map, in Serres-Castet and Pontacq, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques will cut 105 jobs out of 270, Cauquil in Mondouzil (Haute-Garonne), will cut 34 job out of 90. Caromar Techno in Bidart (Pyrénées-Atlantiques), will see its staff be transferred to another site.
BT2i's general manager explains that the drastic reduction in production rates of all the company's customers, BT2i needs to reorganise their industrial setup. The group, 95% of which works for the aeronautics industry, brings together a group of SMEs, acquired over the last few years, based mainly in the regions New Aquitaine and Occitania.
The reorganisation is part of a worldwide plan aiming to cut 780 jobs.

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.
