Description
The textile company Miroglio Textile liquidated the controlled company Stamperia di Govone, following the decision of the shareholders' meeting not to recapitalise the company; 151 people were made redundant. Existing difficulties within the Italian textile sector were exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.
Trade unions considered the decision as wrong and organised workers' protests.
Between 22 and 34 workers could be reallocated to other jobs among the group's companies and 18 will be offered early retirement.

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.
