Description
The management of PSA Peugeot Citroën at Mulhouse announced to its social and economic committee that the production of the 2008 Peugeot model will stop by the end of the year. This should result in the loss of about 1,000 positions according to union sources. Management confirmed the information to Reuters without specifying the number of employees involved. The 2008 model phase out will result in cancellation of the night shift by mid-October, which employs 960 people, and in the change from two shifts to one and a half at the end of the year.
The PSA Mulhouse plant employs 5,300 permanent employees and 1,300 temporary workers mainly on fixed term contracts of over 6 months. The reduction in the workforce will mainly result from non renewal of temporary contracts and should not lead to any redundancies.

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.
