Description
Altadis, multinational producer of tobacco products, is planning to transfer the employees that it has got in Spain to other centres of the company and to offer early retirement. This reorganisation will also involve the closure of the production centre located in Tres Cantos (Madrid). The company has not announced yet what centres will some employees move to and whether these will be within or outside Spain.
These measures, which also include 239 jobs lost in France, come on top of the industrial restructuring plan currently being implemented in Spain. Altadis has 30 production, service and logistics centres in Spain.
Altadis presented on 6 June 2006 its redundancies procedure in which it has foreseen to dismiss 285 employees instead of the 233 announced previously. The employees over 52 years old will be offered voluntary redundancies that will lead to early retirement and other employees will be offered to move within the company.

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.
