Description
In 2006, the leading company in Estonian dairy product market Tallinna Piimatööstus, founded in 1893, changed its name to Tere Ltd. and sold its production hall in Tallinn. The company has not decided yet if the production will be moved to Paide or Viljandi. The exact schedule will be set in autumn 2007 but in 2009, only directors and clerical workers will work in Tallinn. In addition it is not clear yet how many workers will be needed in the new location.
About 100 of current workers of the company may lose their jobs because of the relocation. On the one hand Tere Ltd. is interested in relocating as many employees as possible and therefore plans to negotiate with employees for their transfer. On the other hand Tere Ltd plans to find other enterprises to collaborate in finding new job opportunities for the employees and also in providing retraining if needed.

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.
