Description
Campagnolo has declared 120 redundancies among its 300-employee workforce at the historic Vicenza bicycle technology manufacturing facility, informing unions of unavoidable surplus following the post-COVID bicycle market collapse. Despite launching a 13-speed transmission in June, revenues have sharply declined. Redundancies would affect both factory workers and administrative staff. The company recently implemented ordinary unemployment benefits periods, concluding in -September.
Fiom-CGIL Vicenza (trade union) criticised the absence of an industrial plan, characterising the proposal as economic restructuring to relaunch catalogue products rather than develop new ones. They suspect production externalisation, leaving minimal Veneto operations, though explicit relocation discussion hasn't occurred, with production floor signals reinforcing concerns.
The latest consolidated balance sheet (May 31, 2024) showed a production value of €82 million versus €132 million in the prior twelve months, with a net loss of €15 million compared to €1 million loss at May 31, 2023. Management reports indicate that results below expectations stem from difficult bicycle market conditions with supply-product excess.

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.
