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.
The company Duferco announced its intention to close the plant of La Louvière. 380 jobs will be cut. Management and unions agreed on the closure and a social plan for the job losses.
As reported, Belgium has applied for assistance from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF).
