Description
MA Polska, an automotive supplier of car body parts, plans to lay off 260 employees from its facilities in Kielce and Tychy.
The reduction in employment is caused by the significant reduction in the company's production programmes and was cited as the main reason. The job cuts at the Tychy plant will affect 135 of the 879 employees, while 125 of the 631 employees in Kielce will lose their jobs. The layoffs, which are scheduled to end by the end of 2024, will mainly affect production roles like welders, sheet metal workers, and operators. Negotiations with labour unions to discuss severance packages are ongoing.
MA Polska S.A. is a company headquartered in Tychy. It operates in the production sector of parts and accessories for motor vehicles. The company was founded in 2002.

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.
