Description
In 2005, 200 employees will be made redundant at Salrom (Bucureşti region), following the adoption of the Government Decision no. 300/2005. The dismissed people will receive monthly compensatory payments during 2 years and will benefit from other active employment measures designed for the whole mining sector.
Salrom is the only salt producer at national level authorized by the Romanian government.
Company headquarters are in Bucureşti (Bucureşti region) but it has seven mining exploitation located in five different regions of the country. Through its subsidiaries, the company produces halite, salt solution and crystalline modified salt, applying technologies similar to those used worldwide. The company's net and gross results in the first half of 2004 were positive.
Salrom is currently owned by the state but the government intends to promote a strategy aimed at attracting new investments at Salrom, so that restructuring might go hand in hand with privatisation.

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.
