Description
Federal Mogul, a global supplier for automotive sector, is to cut 383 jobs in Italy. At the beginning of April, the company has announced the recourse to the extraordinary Wage Guarantee Fund for 383 workers, in view of the beginning of the collective dismissals' procedures. The extraordinary Wage Guarantee Fund scheme will last one year.
In the previous 26 months, Federal Mogul already utilised the ordinary Wage Guarantee Fund scheme, which is applied in cases of temporary downturns in production due to transitory reasons.
The trade unions reacted to the company's decision by announcing several plant meetings with the workers and asking some meetings with the company in order to find measures to avoid the collective dismissals.
Federal Mogul in Italy has 1,224 employees.

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.
