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.
In July 2013, railway operator Przewozy Regionalne in Bydgoszcz announced its plans to cut 421 jobs. The collective dismissals will be implemented between 1 September and 31 December 2013.
Przewozy Regionalne is owned and funded by 16 regional governments. It provides local and interregional passenger transport. Currently, the company employs 700 people.
Przewozy Regionalne will negotiate with the local trade unions the conditions of the restructuring programme.
