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.
Euskaltel, a Spanish telecommunications operator mostly located in the Basque Country, is planning to dismiss 138 employees. This will affect staff in the operations department.
The measure is additional to a previous labour adjustment that affected 39 employees.
The unions have brought the case to Preco, a body for resolution of labour disputes.
