Ethics in the digital workplace
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.
Hutchinson is to cut 216 jobs at production sites of its vibration and acoustic insulation systems subsidiary Paulstra in Vierzon and Chateaudun and at its rubber gloves plant in Liancourt. Vierzon factory will lose 81 out of 320 jobs, Châteaudun - 102 out of 610 and Liancourt - 33 out of 62.
The company announced that there will be no direct dismissals. All cuts will be implemented through voluntary measures - early retirement schemes, relocation to other branches, etc.
