Description
In early July 2008, Parquets Marty, the French subsidiary of the Swede group Nybron Flooring International, was put into receivership for insolvency. The bankruptcy court of Villeneuve-sur-Lot presented a reorganization plan that foresees the suppression of 171 jobs out of the existing 496 posts based in Cuzorn (Lot-et-Garonne).
The Court will examine this proposal in September. However, it seems that some unions representatives are in dispute concerning the modalities of the reorganization plan. The number of job cuts could thus change, depending on the results of the topical negociations with (and between) the unions.

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.
