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.
Novem Car, a global supplier of components for vehicles' interiors, is to cut 117 jobs in its plant located at Bagnatica, in the province of Bergamo. Currently, 289 workers are working at the plant. The collective dismissal procedures will start in May 2012.
The trade unions have requested the involvement of local authorities in order to find alternative solutions to the job cuts announced by the company.
