Description
Bosch Rexroth, a German subsidiary of Bosch and manufacturer of drive and control technology, announced 230 job cuts at its site in Lohr am Main, Bavaria, Germany. The job cuts at the Lohr site are due to the relocation of servo motor production to Brnik, Slovenia, by the end of 2025. However the job cuts will be partially compensated by Bosch Rexroth's electronics which will be in the future relocated from Erbach(Borsch DE -2022), Hessen, Germany to the Lohr site, which will lead to the creation of 100 new jobs. The employment measures will result in a total of 130 job losses in Lohr am Main by the end of 2025.
In Lohr, about 5,400 people are employed in hydraulics, factory automation and administration. In Erbach and in Slovenia, about 400 people are employed in factory automation each. With a presence in more than 80 countries and 29,600 employees worldwide, Bosch Rexroth generated sales of around €5.2 billion in 2020.

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.
