Ethics in the digital workplace
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.
Insurer Norwich Union is shutting down two RAC call centres as part of its longer-term plans announced in March 2005 to cut 1,700 jobs in the newly-merged group.
About 210 posts will go at Darlington and another 120 will be lost from Morecambe, the company said.
The cuts have been attacked by the Amicus union, which said it had not been consulted about the job losses.
