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.
Poste Italiane, the Italian postal services provider, is planning up to 233 job cuts at its distribution centre located in Tessera, in the province of Venice.
The activities will be moved to the distribution centre of Padua. The trade unions and the local authorities have requested further details of the restructuring plan proposed by the company. The proposal will be negotiated in order to find alternative solutions. At the moment, 290 people work at the Tessera distribution centre.
