Description
Alandia Industrie, which took over from the group Rio Tinto the two plants of Carbone Savoie in Notre-Dame-de-Briançon (Savoie) and Vénissieux (Rhône) in April 2016, has announced a restructuring that will lead to cut 40 positions from a total workforce of about 400 employees on permanent employment contract and 40 positions of temporary workers. Despite a commitment not to reduce the workforce before 2018, the company found that there was a lack of funds for investments and has now decided to restructure.
The management said it's going to avoid forced dismissals and to give priority to negotiated departures or to internal reemployment. However, according to the unions the reemployment proposals are not realistic and many workers will not accept.

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.
