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.
The Commercial Court of Strasbourg announced the bankruptcy of Trabet on 27th April.
On 20 May, the court approved the takeover of Trabet (with 105 employees) and its subsidiaries – ETM (25 employee), Perco in Illkirch-Graffenstaden and Trameca in Haguenau (20 employees) – by Karp-Kneip that will maintain 150 positions.
The court has also approved the takeover of the group last subsidiary Société alsacienne de route (Sarmac) based in Rixheim (Haut-Rhin) by the French company NGE that will keep 35 employees.
Finally the dismantling of the group Trabet will lead to 175 job cuts. This decision is a direct consequence of adverse market conditions, marked by a drop in construction contracts coupled with declining state grants to communities.
