Description
On 4th June French construction group Eiffage announced to its Central Works Council that it is to cut about 239 positions in the frameof a reorganisation affecting metal construction activities.
The group will close its two sites in Maizières-lès-Metz (Moselle) with 78 job cuts and Etupes (Doubs) with 30 job cuts. It will cut 33 positions at its site in Fos-sur-Mer (Bouches-du-Rhône) and keep only 20% of the workforce of its site of Martot (Eure) where 98 employees will be dismissed. In total, the group will cut 239 positions but announced the intention to offer near to 400 positions for internal mobility. The group is facing a decrease in demand in France (a drop of orders of 50%, a decreased turnover of its metal activities of 2.2% in 2014) and will produce low-value metal products in Poland where labour costs are lower. The social partners have four months to negotiate a social plan to avoid forced dismissals and to agree on compensation for the employees that will leave the group.

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.
