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.
Blue1, a Finnish airline and a member of the SAS Group since 1998, has announced plans to reduce its services and lay off up to 85 employees.
Blue1 is starting negotiations with employee representatives on the proposed layoffs. The negotiations will start on 30 June 2011 and all staff members are included.
The company blames the job cuts on increasing competition and weakening profitability. The airline carrier will eliminate six routes from Helsinki to European destinations. It will also remove five planes from its fleet.
