Ethics in the digital workplace
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.
Tombolini, a subsidiary of Eugenio Tombolini, announced it hired 148 workers in a rented plant in Filottrano (Ancona).
The hirings follow the dismissals of these workers by the mother company Eugenio Tombolini and the sister company Tombolini Industrie, that have been banned from production by the Tribunal of Macerata due to bankruptcy (see Eugenio TomboliniIT-2016).
The group intends to continue the legal battle as they are confident that they will be able to pay all outstanding debts by resuming production.
