Description
Delphi, an automotive supplier specialised in electronics, is to cut 202 jobs France, including 136 in Blois and 66 in Perigny. This was announced only a few months after the company had unveiled plans to cut on staff in Illkirch and Villepinte (see ERM report).
With the initiative, Delphi aims at increasing its profitability against the backdrop of the declining automotive market in Europe.
The job cuts will mainly be implemented via voluntary departures. This is yet to be discussed with worker representatives. Unions fear the delocalisation of R&D to Poland and of production to Izmir (Turkey).
Delphi is a multinational supplier of electronics and technologies for the automotive, commercial vehicle and other markets. The company employs 2,853 workers in France.

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.
