Description
Bankruptcy has closed the Pannon Szárnyas Kft chicken processing plant in Győr, Hungary and 300 employees have been dismissed. The company had debts to the tune of over a billion forint (€3 million).
Pannon Szárnyas has been grounded in 1998 and planned the processing and selling of 10-15 million chickens annually. In the second half of 2009 the company began to really struggle due to low sales prices and could no longer pay its employees. Since the announcement of the bankruptcy the trade union Vasas (www.vasasszakszervezet.hu) has arranged that outstanding wages will be reimbursed in October 2010 from the national Wages Guarantee Found.

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.
