Description
A fish processing factory in Glyngøre (DK) owned by Royal Greenland A/S announced 7 January 2008 that 115 jobs in fillet production will be offshored to Koszalin in Poland.
Management have indicated that the reason for the redundancies in Glyngøre is to move part of the production to a low wage country with the aim of increasing competitiveness. The management, however, hopes in a medium-long term perspective to increase the production left in Glyngøre. Most of the redundant persons are women over 45 years of age. The local jobcentre in Skive has requested extra funding from the Ministry of Employment in order to re-employ the women. The extra funding will be used to fund continuing vocational training and upskilling.

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.
