Description
Pekárna Lapek Jihlava, the biggest bakery company in the region of Vysočina, is being closed due to economic problems. The collective redundancies concern a total of 215 employees of the bakery, especially from production. The production part of the bakery will close at the end of 2024.
The main reasons stated by the company are the high energy prices and the overall difficult situation on the market. Dismissed workers are afraid of existential problems.
Part of the staff might get a job with the company that will take over the current bakery shops or with other companies in the food industry in the region of Vysočina.
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.
