Description
The Czech state rail operator Czech Railways has announced around 300 jobs to be made redundant in the South Moravia regional unit at the beginning of December 2024.
The reason for the internal restructuring is a decrease in operations in the region and a new contract for the operation of the Moravia units. The redundancy applies to train drivers and cashiers.
Workers at risk of layoffs will be given the option of retraining to become, for example, a train driver, or they will be offered vacant positions within other Czech Railways companies.

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.
