Description
The management of Itron, a company specialising in measuring instruments, has announced at a central works council meeting that it would close its Chasseneuil-du-Poitou site (Vienne) by the end of 2024 and that it would negotiate a job safeguard plan to cut 110 jobs on the site, out of a total of 145 jobs.
35 positions will be retained, of which ten would be transferred to the company's Mâcon site (Saône-et-Loire) and 25 will be teleworking. The first departures are expected to happen in June, after the negociation of the job safeguard plan is completed. The site will fully close at the end of 2024 after the production of the Linky meter has been transferred to Mâcon.
In 2015, the site had already undergone a restructuring that led to the loss of 124 of the 277 jobs (FR-Itron-2015)

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.
