Description
Correios de Portugal (CTT), the Portuguese national postal service company, is in a restructuring process and will open a mutual termination programme that is expected to cover 200 workers. This restructuring process was already planned in its 2023 annual accounts report. A total of €13.4 million was allocated for the departure of about 200 employees, which will happen in the course of 2024.
Personnel costs rose by €30.8 million (8.8%) in 2023, mainly due to the increase in wages (more €15.9 million) as a result of the increase in the national minimum wage.
CTT had 13,670 workers on 31 December 2023, 1,164 more than the previous year, of which 11,386 were permanent and 2,284 had fixed-term contracts.

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.
