Description
Iveco Magirus Camiva, a manufacturer of emergency vehicles, has announced the transfer of its production from a plant in Saint-Alban-Leysse (Savoie) to a site in Ulm, Germany, which will result in the collective dismissals of 129 out of 171 people employed in the French site.
The decision is based on economic grounds: decreased turnover and financial losses generated by the site. It is also related to the company's European restructuring plan, which affects also its sites in Austria (Graz) and Germany (Weisweil, Gorlitz).
The management plans to propose outplacement offers to the dismissed employees, mostly in the region of Rhône-Alpes, but also abroad: in Germany (Ulm) or Italy (Brescia). Iveco will also keep 42 employees for a future "excellence centre" near Lyon.
The timeline for the restructuring is yet to be announced.

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.
