Description
China-based global manufacturer of heavy construction equipment LiuGong Dressta Machinery has announced that it will cut 120 jobs throughout a collective dismissal programme at its production facility in Stalowa Wola, Poland. The programme will affect 48 production and 72 office staff. The programme is related to the COVID-19 pandemic and a drop in demand; the programme was registered by the company at the local employment agency in Stalowa Wola. The conditions of the programme were negotiated with the local trade unions.
The factory in Stalowa Wola has been operating since 1937. Currently, the factory employs about 1,000 employees. Dressta was acquired by LiuGong Machinery and renamed LiuGong Dressta Machinery in 2012.
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.
