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.
Construction company Cestno podjetje Ljubljana (CPL) has entered a bankruptcy procedure affecting approximately 250 people.
The bankruptcy can be seen in the context of many Slovenian construction companies filing for bankruptcies in the last months.
For quite some time, the company has not been able to serve his liabilities and, recently, it also lost the state concession for maintaining roads. Due to the fact that the company was not paying wages, the workforce has already been substantially reduced from 400 in August 2012.
All remaining employees will lose their job.
