Description
On 14 April 2005, the Romanian Government adopted Decision no. 300, on the collective redundancies that are to be made during 2005 in companies under the authority and coordination of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce (Ministerul Economiei şi Comerţului, MEC).
In line with the decision, 1,200 miners from the company CNH Petroşani (Western region, Hunedoara county) were to be made redundant in 2005.
On 19 January 2006, the Government Decision no. 78 approved new redundancy figures. Apart from the 1,200 people made redundant in 2005, another 400 employees from CNH Petroşani will lose their jobs starting in 2006.
All redundant people will receive compensatory payments, according to their length of service.
The company is 100% state-owned and extracts and processes mineral and brown coal. CNH Petroşani holds under its administration 10 mining exploitations.
According to the website of the Office of State Ownership and Privatisation in Industry (Oficiul Participaţiilor Statului şi Privatizării în Industrie, OPSPI) in the first half of 2004 the company registered a turnover of about €71 million.
The redundancy programme is set to continue in the years to come, as part of the strategy to invigorate the company, since all subsidies for hard coal will have been cut off by 2010.
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.
