Description
On 30 March 2012, Lufthansa Technik announced to cut some 276 jobs at it site at the Euroairport of Bâle-Mulhouse (350 employees). The management has announced the restructuring plan to its works council and started the information and consultation process. Redundancies will affect employees between May and December 2012. However, the precise number of redundancies will be disclosed by the end of April or beginning May.
The management has justified the restructuring with the need to tackle overcapacities and cut down the high maintenance costs due the high level of the Swiss currency (Swiss Franc) against the euro.
The site belongs to the German group Lufthansa Technik (26000 employees in the world) that has a turnover of 4,1 billion euros.
Update: 16 May 2012. The management has announced to dismiss 222 emloyees instead of 276 as the group has planned in March 2012.

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.
