Description
Yazaki Automotive Products Poland, which operates in the automotive electrical wiring sector, will lay off 230 employees from its Mikołów plant.
The restructuring comes due to the termination of a contract with Maserati and the lack of new contracts. Two rounds of layoffs will start in the upcoming days. The considered support for laid-off employees includes severance pay as per national law, an extra month's salary, and a one-time payment.
The trade union "Solidarity" raised concerns about layoffs at Yazaki's Polish plant during the corporation's European Works council. A finalised agreement on layoff rules between management and the union is expected by June 11.
Yazaki Corporation was established in 1941 and produces automotive components. The factory in Mikołów has been operating since 2002; it was acquired by Yazaki in 2011. The plant in Mikołów already laid-off 500 employees in 2020, for the factsheet on this restructuring, see: Yazaki Automotive Products Poland - 2020-PL.
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.
