Description
Belgian passenger and baggage handling services company Aviapartner will cut some 150 jobs at the international Schiphol airport near Amsterdam, Dutch trade union De Unie said on 5 September 2005. Aviapartner is currently facing difficulties, after its important partner British Airways cancelled its contract with the company.
Aviapartner has had talks with De Unie earlier on 5 September 2005, after which a reorganisation was announced. Forced redundancies are not to be ruled out as part of the reorganisation at Schiphol, the trade union said. Aviapartner, which is owned by UK investment company 3i, currently employs 700 at Schiphol. The company is active at Schiphol with its subsidiary Smart Handling.
Aviapartner was established in 1949. The company provides ramp operations at 25 airports in Western Europe to more than 400 air carriers worldwide.

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.
