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.
Novare, a company in charge of the computer company Acer's technical services, has presented a Redundancy Procedure affecting 135 employees at the sites located in Gavà (Catalonia). The decision is blamed on the termination of the contract with Acer. According to the union UGT, Acer will maintain the services by contracting new workers who will be incorporated at the plant in Gavà which will now be managed by Acer.
