Description
As announced on 8 January 2021, the German textile finishing company Lindenfarb will be cutting 120 jobs due to internal restructuring until the end of January 2021. After declaring insolvency in 2020 - for the third time within the last 5 years - an investor was found and the rehabilitation procedure will be completed at the end of January. Part of the process is the reduction of 120 jobs in Aalen, which is equivalent to half of the company’s employees. Lindenfarb was hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis, making the insolvency process inevitable. As of today, there is no information on a social plan available.
Currently Lindenfarb has 240 employees in Germany.

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.
