Description
Spanish construction company Los Serranos (owned by Eiffage) has applied for a redundancy procedure affecting 130 employees (37% of its workforce). The workers will receive a compensation for dismissal of 20 days per year worked. The rest of the workers will be subjected to a temporary dismissal of 180 days.
With this measure the group intends to reduce structural expenditures in order to compensate the economic losses recorded last year. The employee's representatives have called for a four-day strike action for 25 and 26 April and 3 and 4 May 2012 to protest against the company's decision.

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.
