Description
Manuel Camacho, a perfume manufacturer based in Catalonia and that works for Group Puig, Coty Astor and Schleker, announced on 13 October 2006 that it will close its plants in L´Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona) and Montornès del Vallès (Barcelona) and will only maintain its plant in Castellví de Rosanes (Barcelona). The company exports its products to the EU15.
The total number of employees in the three plants is 170 and these two closures will mean the dismissal of 114 employees (70% of its staff).
The trade unions have stated that one of its clients, Schleker, has reduced its orders due to increased competition from China but that the number of dismissals is in any case too high.

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.
