Description
Dutch publisher Wolters Kluwer has announced the loss of 111 jobs in France. The job cuts are part of a restructuring programme affecting all employees in France between October and December 2009.
In the meantime, the management expressed its will to achieve its goal via voluntary departures and internal transfers. This plan is in line with the earlier announced strategy of Wolters Kluwer. Negotiations with the trade unions and the company's works council have started, and a strike is planned for June 25th and 26th. Wolters Kluwer France is currently struggling under declining advertising revenues.
Wolters Kluwer is a Netherlands-based company that provides products and services globally for professionals in the health, tax, accounting, corporate, financial, legal, and regulatory sectors. It maintains operations in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific.

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.

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.
