Description
Dekorsy Ipari és Kereskedelmi, a plastic component manufacturer for the car industry, went bankrupt and 300 jobs were lost in Sopron. The job losses are blamed on the decline in orders and the insolvency of its German mother company Dekorsy.
Around 100 employees had been dismissed previously to counterbalance the negative impact of the global economic downturn on the car manufacturing industry. The downsizing was carried out by not renewing expired contracts.
By summer 2009, however, it had become clear that the company would be unable to secure a sufficient amount of orders which would permit its continued functioning. Consequently, the company underwent a liquidation process and dismissed its remaining 200 workers in the framework of a mass redundancy scheme.
The Sopron (Győr-Sopron county) based company was established in 1998 and produced injection moulded plastic parts for the car industry.

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.
