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.
Food group Sos Corporación has proposed substituting the temporary employment regulation file that was presented last November for all of its centres in Spain with a termination layoff plan that will affect 150 workers that the company says "it is unable to keep as part of its workforce", according to the UGT Union's Agri-foods Federation. This represents 20% of the permanent workforce.
