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.
Spanish steel firm Celsa Atlantic, specialized in the manufacture of basic iron and steel and of ferro-alloys, has applied for a redundancy procedure affecting 352 employees. The plants of Vitoria and Urbina (Basque Country) will be also closed.
The unions of the plants thus far have announced several strikes. In the following days, the unions and the company representatives will meet to discuss the redundancy procedure conditions.
The timeline for the restructuring is yet to be announced.
