Description
Finnish paper company UPM is to cut 196 jobs out of a total of 367 employees by 2015.
The company had announced in November 2014 a reorganisation and the shutdown of two paper mills at the Chapelle Darblay site (Seine-Maritime).
The number of job cuts has been reduced after a long negotiation with unions and employees representatives. On 30 April 2015 the management announced to the works council a reduction of redundancies from 196 to 170.. The management and unions are working on alternative measures to keep one of the paper mills and the number of redundancies could be further reduced. The Management will take a final decision by the end of June.
UPM had closed its site in Docelles (Vosges) making all 161 staff redundant by February 2014.

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.
