Description
The company Spanish Roca Tiles, part of the Mexican group Lamosa, has announced an employment redundancy file (ERE) affecting between 140 and 150 workers (out of a reported workforce of 175 people, according to the Spanish business registry) from its manufacturing plant located in the town of Vall d'Uixò, Castellon (Spain).
The management team of the company met last 5th February with the employees’ representative organisations and informed them of the intention to file a redundancy plan for the manufacturing division. In the coming days/week, an official ERE committee between company and employee representatives will be set up to negotiate the ERE contents and conditions.
The company representatives suggested the need to reduce economic losses and their intention to resume production when the conditions of the ceramic sector in the province of Castellón improve.
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.
