Description
The food manufacturer of baked goods, Bake my day, has given notice to 121 employees, corresponding to more than 50% of its workforce.
The company is facing plummeting sales following employee reports on unhygienic conditions and pest problems at the Huddinge factory as well as problems with working conditions such as unpaid overtime. Many of Bake my day’s clients, including large food retailers, school kitchen catering services, and municipalities, have seized orders to conduct their own investigations, or withdrawn their orders all together.
The CEO states that the hope is that cooperation negotiations will result in fewer dismissals, but that depends on whether clients will proceed with their orders as the food manufacturing business has low profit margins. In December, 2024, the company moved production from Huddinge to Arlandastad, Sigtuna.
Bake My Day is a Swedish company based in the capital region and has 194 employees.

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.
