Description
Coal mine operator Rudnik Trbovlje-Hrastnik (RTH) is to lay off 136 miners in Trbovlje.
This is due to the cessation of coal extraction at the site in 2009 (according to the Law on the Gradual Closure of RTH from 2000, and its amendment in 2004) and the gradual downsizing of the company’s workforce until 2015.
The mine’s closure was decided out of economic and environmental reasons. The company’s current workforce of 370 staff is remaining after an earlier round of dismissals in 2007-2009.
UPDATE, 16-01-2014:
According to recent sources, the miners will receive notice in the coming weeks with a 85-days dismissal period. This means that dismissals will actually come into effect in April or May.

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.
