Description
Poczta Polska, the national postal operator that employs 94000 people, will lay off at least 1100 employees in 2010, mainly from its centralized units for infrastructure, finance and the post office centre. A board member said that the number of job reductions in the cost-cutting programme might be as high as 1880.
The aforementioned numbers have not been agreed upon with trade unions. One of the trade union representatives, Bogumil Nowicki from NSZZ "Solidarnosc" said that they have been told about the dismissals but were also informed that the number of people to be laid off is not negotiable.
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.
