Description
Autogrill, the world’s biggest operator of travel dining, catering and retail facilities for travelers, is to cut 140 jobs in its Italian outlets.
According to the company, the job cuts are mainly due to the negative effects of the economic crisis on the sector. In order to avoid the lay-offs, the company offers to the redundant workers to move to another Autogrill outlet (up to 100km away from their current post) or to accept a part-time contract.
The trade unions have criticized heavily the company’s unilateral decision.
In Italy, Autogrill has around 11,000 employees, and around 63,000 worldwide.

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.
