Description
Announced on 13 October 2022, the German steel company ThyssenKrupp will be recruiting 100 new employees at its new plant in Dortmund.
The expansion is a result of ThyssenKrupps' investment of €250 million in a new fire coating plant. The plant was intended to be opened in 2021, however, due to the pandemic and disrupted supply chains, the opening was postponed to 2022. ThyssenKrupp intends to manufacture 600,000 tons of hot-dip galvanised flat steel per year at the new plant.
Currently, ThyssenKrupp employs 1,300 people in Dortmund. Overall, the company has 10 hot-dip coating plants, including two in Dortmund, two in Sirgerland, four in Duisburg, one in Bochum and one in Spain.
Previous factsheets were recorded in the ERM database in 2020, with an announced job reduction of 6000 employees (ThyssenKrupp-2020-DE), and a related job reduction of 385 employees (ThyssenKrupp-2020a-DE).

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.
