Description
The Italian State Railway company, Ferrovie dello Stato group, will hire 1000 young people in the three-year period 2023-2025, as announced by the company itself and the Ministry of Transport. The choice was made following the announcement of the establishment of a security body (initially in the Rogoredo station in Milan and later in the stations of Rome, Bologna, Venice, Reggio Calabria, and Palermo) run by an ad hoc company called FS Security (managed by Ferrovie dello Stato), to guarantee the safety of passengers in stations.
A building called Security Academy will also be built in Milan Rogoredo to train young FS Security workers. Moreover, in Rome, a national Control Room will be set up to monitor the stations. Finally, operational staff in high-flow stations will be increased, although the number of hirings for this area has not yet been specified.
The trade unions were satisfied, but asked for these implementations to be extended to other Italian stations as well, to ensure greater safety for workers and passengers.

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.
