Ethics in the digital workplace
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.
Meridiana Airline Company announced 194 redundancies, involving 30 pilots, 60 cabin assistants and 104 ground staff. These job cuts might be suspended if the company will get additional routes to Sardinia. There are also plans to outsource some of the ground activities, notably the call centre and part of the ticket accounting services. The company has a total of some 1,500 employees of which around 350 are temporary.
