Description
Levantina Group, a marble and granite company based in Alicante (Spain), has proposed an Employment Restructuring file (ERE) that would affect 244 of the total 800 employees.
This ERE has been presented and initially discussed with the workers’ representatives to reach an agreement on the final ERE’s implementation. According to the company, this ERE is due to economic, organisational and production related causes and the need to ensure the profitability of all its operating units.
From a geographical perspective, this ERE would impact around 75% of the Levantina Mármol (marble) units in Novelda (approximately 160 workers) and 50% of those working at the Monte Coto quarry in El Pinó (77 workers), with an additional ten employees from the quarries in Albacete and Vallanca, Valencia. After the labour adjustment, the Novelda Plant would keep 60 employees and the Monto Coto quarry around 70 workers.

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.
