Description
The global steel group ArcelorMittal has announced the recruitment of 530 employees at three of its sites in northern France: Dunkirk, Mardyck and Desvres. The group will hire 265 people on permanent contracts, including 200 in Dunkirk, 57 in Mardyck and 8 in Desvres. In addition, there will be 85 fixed-term contracts in Dunkirk and Mardyck and 180 employees on work-study contracts at the three sites. The job profiles sought are essentially those of production (55% of the planned hires), maintenance (35%) and other sectors of activity (shipping, logistics, etc.). These hirings aim to support three projects:
– the decarbonisation of the production process, i.e. an investment of €1.7 billion to reduce CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030 (then achieve carbon neutrality by 2050)
– the construction of a new production line to manufacture steel for electric motors in Mardyck;
– the internalisation of maintenance teams.
Beginning of April 2022, the ArcelorMittal steel site in Florange (Moselle) has announced to recruit 200 employees on permanent contracts by the end of 2022 (ArcelorMittal 2022 - FR).

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.
