Description
Deltic Group, the British night club operator has announced that it had started redundancy consultations with its staff, leading to a minimum of 400 job cuts across the UK. The job cuts are proposed to save costs in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic as the Coronavirus job Retention Scheme ends in October.
Night clubs in the UK have been closed since March. Many venues were in a precarious financial position before the COVID-19 crisis, and the pandemic has exacerbated their difficulties. The Night Time Industries Association warned that without government support the majority of UK clubs will go bankrupt by the end of the year.
Deltic Group owns 54 clubs in the UK, branded as Pryzm, Atik and Eden chains and employs 3,000 people.

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.
