Description
International producer of ropeways, cable cars and ski lifts, Doppelmayr, announced that it will cut 190 jobs worldwide, including 95 positions in Wolfurt, Austria. The job cuts are to be carried out as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; at Doppelmayr, sales are expected to decline by a third for the current 2020/21 financial year. The conditions of the programme will be negotiated with employees’ representatives as the dismissals should be as socially responsible as possible.
Doppelmayr, headquartered in Wolfurt, Austria, is the world market leader in cable car construction. Currently, Doppelmayr employs around 3,4000 people worldwide, including almost 1,700 in Austria.

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.
