Description
Mediapro, an Spanish audiovisual media company, has informed trade unions of its intention to launch an Employment Redundancy File (ERE) affecting 250 employees in Spain, as part of a broader restructuring process aimed at improving efficiency and ensuring the company’s future viability. The measure will focus on transversal areas and will not directly impact the core business divisions of the audiovisual group.
The announcement follows an internal review of operations and the recent departure of around 20 senior executives. The ERE has yet to be formally registered and will enter a negotiation phase with unions in the coming weeks. The restructuring comes as Mediapro lost ground in sports broadcasting rights and is adjusting its structure to reflect a leaner business model.

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.
