Description
The Steklarna Rogaška glass factory, which belongs to the Finnish Fiskars Group, has announced 155 redundancies. After around 140 redundancies in 2023 (see Steklarna Rogaška – SI), the Finnish Fiskars Group has announced further layoffs in Steklarna Rogaška. Modernising the plant and improving its competitiveness will lead to the loss of up to 155 jobs.
The €15 million for the period 2024-2026 will optimise the production capacity for premium and luxury glass products. In the press release, the company's management stated that it has started negotiations with its employees about the planned changes.
Redundancies, albeit on a smaller scale (18 roles), have also been announced at Iittala and at the distribution centre in Billnas, Finland.
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.
