Description
DAF, a Dutch truck manufacturing company, is lowering their truck production for the third time this year. Starting on the first of July, the production of trucks will decrease from 220 to 200 trucks each day. As a consequence 150 agency workers are no longer going to be employed by DAF in Eindhoven and 135 in Oevel.
DAF states that the production decline is due to the economic uncertainty in Europe, which causes transport operators to delay the purchase of new trucks.
DAF produces trucks in Eindhoven and in Leyland in the UK, while the factory in Oevel / Westerlo makes axles and cabins.
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.
