Description
Pappas is to close its spare parts depot for Mercedes in Salzburg, making 110 staff redundant by the end of 2013.
This step is caused by the fact that Daimler is to take over the exclusive import of spare parts for Mercedes, smart and Fuso. The group has bought the second 50pc of the Mercedes Benz Austria distribution company. The wholesale business with spare parts will be run via Mercedes' logistics center in Nuremberg.
A comprehensive social plan has been worked out in close cooperation with the Public Employment Service (AMS) and the works council. It encompasses a re-employment scheme with further training and job qualification programs.
Pappas employs about 2,800 staff in Austria, being the largest seller and service provider for Daimler cars in the country.

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.
