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.
Polish furniture producer Spółdzielnia Meblarska "Kaszub" in Kościerzyna (co-operative) announced its bankruptcy on 14 April 2011. The company has started a collective dismissal programme which will affect 107 workers.
The terms and conditions related to the collective dismissals are regulated by the bilateral agreement between the company and workers. The co-operative was founded over 50 years ago.
