Description
On November 18, 2018, the paper mill company Burgo started procedures for the collective dismissal of 100 employees (92 blue-collar and 8 white-collar workers) working in the company's Duino plant, in the province of Trieste (Friuli Venezia Giulia), which counts 319 workers in total.
The collective dismissals are connected to the expiration of the solidarity contract currently applied at the plant, a shock absorber instrument negotiated with the trade unions which allowed to guarantee employment levels by reducing working time of the whole workforce.
Negotiations are undergoing between the company, trade unions and public institutions (in particular the regional administration) in order to reduce the social consequences of the decision.
Further 62 workers will be dismissed by the company in its seat of Verzuolo, in the province of Cuneo (Piedmont).

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.
