Description
The warehousing and storage company Fiege Ecommerce Logistics, logistics partner of the online retailer Zalando, signed an agreement with Italian trade unions envisaging the hiring of 1,000 workers by the end of 2020 in the Nogarole Rocca plant, in the province of Verona, Nort-East of Italy.
The new hirings will be recruited among workers who have carried out at least 6 months of work on a fixed-term or agency contract in the plant. These workers will be permanently hired with an open-ended contrat, without a trial period and with the maintenance of the seniority acquired so far working at the plant.
The agreement also foresees new rules for managing internal and external flexibility within the plant, which aim at reducing workers precariousness.

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.
