Description
Autoglas-Glavista, a company dedicated to the manufacturing of windscreens for the automotive sector located in Llodio (Alava, Basque Country), has announced an employment redundancy plan (ERE) for the total workforce of the company, namely 240 employees.
The insolvency administrator of Autoglas-Glavista has informed the workers that the process to close the company and consequently dismiss all workers is to start in the first week of October 2023. The employees are currently in a temporary employment redundancy plan (ERTE). A period of 30 days is now open for the different parties to reach an agreement.
The workers' representatives have shown their rejection of the ERE, and are developing a series of protest activities, although they are pessimistic about the future of the company. Meanwhile, the public authorities are trying to find an industrial partner to keep the business operating, with little success thus far.

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.
