Description
Pošta Slovenije, a state-owned company providing postal, financial services and logistics, will lay off between 150 and 200 employees.
In the public release, the Trade Union of Post Workers disclosed that the State Sovereign Holding (SDH) and the post agreed to reduce employment by 200 workers. The company did not deny the news. The trade union explained that planned layoffs will be indirect via retirement and unrenewed fixed-term contracts.
The trade union announced a strike due to announced layoffs and the digital surveillance of workers, which, the trade union claims, is illegal. For this reason, the union filed a complaint with the Information Commissioner.

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.
