Description
Swebus announced the dismissal of 150 drives as a result of the loss of a tender for local public transport in Gävle. Swebus´agreement will expire in June 2010, and most dismissals will be realized this December, since many employees have contracts of employment with six months notice.
The new entrepreneur will probably need the same number of drivers for the local public transport, which opens a possibility for the 150 drivers to perform the same work for a different employer.

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.
