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.
The Spanish construction company Martinsa Fadesa has presented a second redundancy procedure (expediente de regulación de empleoor ERE) to dismiss 234 workers. In 2008, the company presented a first redundancy procedure to lay off 298 workers (60,8 % of its workforce).The decision is due to the sharp decline in housing sales in the unfavourable economic climate.
