Description
The Italian catering company Autogrill has announced around 100 job cuts among its 1,700 French employees as part of a European restructuring. Around 20 positions will be cut in the aerea of Montélimar in the restaurants along the A7 motorway. The management explains that this is 'a measured restructuring'. It specifies that a Employment safeguard plan (PSE) is 'under discussion with employee representatives on two group companies, Autogrill Côté France and Autogrill Restauration Carrousel'.
The company explains that it was hit hard by the crisis at Covid-19 with the closure of its establishments for several months. The group does not envisage a real upturn in business before 2022.

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.
