Ethics in the digital workplace
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.
Maserati, a car brand belonging to the Stellantis group, following an agreement with the main trade unions in the sector, authorised 150 voluntary incentive retirements at its Modena factory (Emilia-Romagna).
This decision goes against the trend of the company, which a year ago had invested in the factory to create a new electric model by 2025.
Almost all the trade unions signed the agreement (although the signatories also call for an industrial plan and a strategy to relaunch the brand), except for Fiom-CGIL.
