Description
On 14 April 2005, the Romanian Government adopted Decision no. 300, on collective redundancies that are to be made during 2005 in companies under the authority and coordination of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce (Ministerul Economiei şi Comerţului, MEC).
The decision stipulates that 50 miners from the Uranium National Company (Compania Naţională a Uraniului) will be made redundant in 2005.
In January 2006, new redundancy figures were approved by the Government Decision no. 78 of 19 January 2006.
Collective redundancies at Compania Naţională a Uraniului now totals 100 people: 50 people in 2005 and another 50 employees in 2006.
Redundant people will receive compensatory payments and will benefit of other policy measures which will tackle social and economic issues in many other mining areas of the country confronted with the same process of downsizing.
Compania Naţională a Uraniului was set up by the Government's Decision no. 785 of 2 December 1997. It has for administration the uranium mineral resources existing in Romania and deals with geological research and exploitation activities for uranium ores, ores processing and concentrates refining, their transport and marketing.

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.
