Description
RENFE, the national passenger railroad company of Spain and main Spanish railway operator, has called for a public offer of employment (OPE) to hire 500 new commercial operators into the company in 2023, which represents an increase of 125 jobs compared to the previous OPE in 2022. It is expected that 430 jobs will be state-wide and the remaining 70 new jobs will be located within Catalonia.
Commercial operators are the company's employees who work at the station, providing support to users through ticket sales, public address announcements or general customer service activities. The new jobs will have as reference the working and payment conditions set out in the RENFE Group’s collective agreement, and the applicants will have to meet the specific requirements detailed in the call by 2 March 2023.
This announcement comes after several previous public employment offer process (OPE) implemented last year 2022 in November (RENFE-2022-ES) and March (RENFE-2022-ES).

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.
