Description
Roma TPL, a consortium of transport companies, is to dismiss 143 workers in Rome. The company has been in charge of operating public transport service in the periphery of Rome since 2010, managing about 20% of the bus service in the capital. Roma TPL explained that the job cuts are due to the discontinuation of the night service, recently insourced by ATAC, the local public company operating most of the transport lines. Dismissals should affect mainly administrative officers, but also ticket inspectors and traffic wardens.
Unions are calling for the involvement of the local administration in the negotiations in order to find alternatives to the job cuts. The climate is already quite tense as the risk of dismissals arose already twice this year; workers are issuing strikes due to wage cuts and delays in the payment of wages.

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.
