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.
Iberia, the former public airlines in Spain until its privatisation in 2001, is going to reduce 9% of its staff.
The workforce was already reduced by 2.1% in 2005 but 2165 employees out of 24044 will be offered early retirement and voluntary redundancies from now until 2008.
The Chairman of the company announced this decision on 30 May 2006 and explained that reducing the staff is the only way to achieve a competitive company.
