Description
The pan-European 24-hour news channel, Euronews, has announced that it will cut 198 jobs out of 500 in total at its headquarters in Lyon by October 2024. This restructuring is part of a plan to redeploy Euronews' editorial staff in Europe as the company is planning to open six new offices in various European capitals.
A negotiation period of several months has been opened with the unions on the principles and modalities of the reorganisation. The management has justified the decision in response to the accumulated financial losses of €160 million over 10 years. It aims to redeploy its staff to six major European cities, and to make Brussels 'the nerve centre of its operations'.
In November 2020, the channel launched a social plan that led to thirty departures, including ten forced departures. In 2012, it had recruited 100 people in the EU (EU-Euronews-2012)

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.
