Description
The automotive supplier Marelli Automotiv Lighting has announced that it will cut around 800 to 900 jobs at its Brotterode plant.
The job cuts are due to the closure of the Brotterode plant by the end of March 2024. The company argues that the site is no longer competitive. The company manufactures headlights for the automotive industry.
The IG Metall trade union was able to negotiate a social contract that provides for severance pay and a transfer company.
The Marelli Group employs around 50,000 workers in 170 facilities and R&D centres worldwide.
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.
