Description
Bosch Rexroth Electronics, a German subsidiary of Bosch and manufacturer of drive and control technology, announced 110 job cuts to relocate Bosch Rexroth's electronics production from Erbach to Lohr am Main, Bavaria, Germany.
On 17 May 2023, the company announced that it would cut around 110 jobs at its Erbach site by mid-2025. According to the company, Erbach will focus more on the development in the future. The reason behind the job cuts are extensive restructuring measures, including the creation of 100 new jobs at the Lohr site (Bosch-2022-DE). The company had announced in July 2022 that it would realign the four global sites of its automation business in Germany, Slovenia and China for further growth.
The company and the employee representatives have reportedly concluded a social plan and a reconciliation of interests. The negotiations on job cuts have been concluded as of 17 May 2023 and the staff adjustments will now be implemented step by step through measures such as internal transfers, severance offers as well as early retirement schemes and partial retirement. Employees affected by the layoffs will be supported to find a new job through qualifying measures.
With a presence in more than 80 countries and 29,600 employees worldwide, Bosch Rexroth generated sales of around €5.2 billion in 2020. In Germany it employs 5,400 people.
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.
