Description
Travaux du Midi Provence (TMP), the French construction company, has announced 184 job cuts out of a total of 524 employees.
The internal restructuring will involve, in particular, 169 blue-collar jobs and 15 site managers. In terms of support, TMP declared to intend to give priority to voluntary departures and to the solutions resulting from the consultation with employee representatives.
The company, which belongs to the Vinci Construction Group, has been experiencing a continuous deterioration in its activities since 2016, recently aggravated by the health crisis. The management specified, indeed, that in the last four years the turnover reduced to a fourth, while the precarious economic conditions of the company already force TMP to put 80 employees in reduced working time during the COVID-19 health crisis.
According to Vinci Construction, short- and medium-term forecasts do not allow the company to provide all its teams with profitable activities. This situation, therefore, lead to the decision to adopt the dismissal plan.

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.
