Description
Novembal Group, the leading manufacturer in France of plastic caps for mineral water bottles, announced on 12 September 2006 that the factory of Novembal Les Chères will cut 100 jobs from 15 September 2006 on.
Novembal Les Chères, which employs 160 people, presented its plan to the trade unions. This is the result of the financial troubles the factory has been going through recently. The plan regards the transfer of the activity to the Novembal factory in the west from France (Châteaubriant), where currently 110 employees work. It is intended that 60 employees from the closing factory in Les Chères could be employed in the next months, but this is still unclear at the moment.

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.
