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.
International packaging and paper group Mondi plans to close its plant in Polinya (Barcelona) and dismiss 110 workers. The measure must still be discussed with the trade unions. Thus, the date of the closure and the timeline of the dismissals have not been decided yet. According to the company managers, the measure is due to limited profit margins forecasted for the coming years.
