Description
Spanish manufacturer of textiles for the automotive sector, Trety, will apply for a Redundancy Procedure affecting 145 employees (approximately 30% of its workforce).
The restructuring is attributed to a drop in production by 25% this year and a forecasted drop by 40% in 2013. The measure is being negotiated with the union representatives, who denounce the plan. According to reports, the unions have proposed alternative solutions such as early retirement plans and voluntary wage reductions.
Trety employed 800 people 4 years ago, and this is the second Redundancy Procedure the company has applied for since then (the first one went ahead in 2009).

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.
