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.
Carrefour, one of the main supermarkets' chains worldwide, is to cut 314 jobs by the end of 2010. According to the company, the job-cuts are mainly due to the recent fall in turnover and customers.
The trade unions have asked to meet the company's management in order to find alternative measures to the job-cuts.
In Italy Carrefour has around 1,760 employees and 10 supermarkets.
