Description
Polish textile producer Zambrowskie Zakłady Przemysłu Bawełnianego Zamtex announced the bankruptcy of its factory in Zambrów. All 137 workers will be dismissed. The factory was closed on 28 February 2011. The company decided to take out two loans - for salaries not yet paid and for severance pay equal to three months' wages. The closure of the factory was attributed to Zamtex's bad financial situation - the company has about 30 million PLN debts.
Zamtex has been operating in Poland since 1954. In the socialist times it was one of the biggest company in the region.

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.
