Description
Luxury tailoring group Eugenio Tombolini is to dismiss all its 148 employees at its sites in Urbigaglia (Macerata).
The decision stems from the negative conclusion of an insolvency proceeding concerning the firm and daughter company Tombolini Industrie following complaints of unpaid contributions by the National Institute of Social Security.
The Tribunal of Macerata eventually ruled the stoppage of production, deeming Eugenio Tombolini and Tombolini Industrie unable to pay their debts, and highlighting additional elements, including the non-conformity of equipment with minimum safety standards. As a result, the affected workers are to lose their job.
The company appealed against the decision, arguing it partially paid back its debts and has consistent orders.
The management is also discussing options with unions with a view to continuing the activities.

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.
