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.
Clesa, a producer of dairy products, is dismissing 360 workers at its site in Madrid. The Commercial Court of Madrid approved a Record of Employment Regulation (ERE) which has been requested by the liquidator. The ERE will apply after a period of negotiation between the liquidator and the company's committee.
The company has been in the hands of the liquidator since the beginning of 2011. The bankruptcy is blamed on the negative impact of crisis on the whole Nueva Rumasa group.
