Description
In February, ArcelorMittal announced a restructuring plan at its two sites of Rodange and Schifflange resulting in 262 job losses.
Specialized in the production of materials for construction, both sites showed large deficits in 2009 and 2010 due to low demand. After four month of negotiation between unions, management and government, an agreement was finally adopted by the parties, on June 16th 2011.The workforce of the two plants will be reduced from 888 to 626 employees without forced dismissals. "It is not in the tradition of Luxembourg model of redundancy", said yesterday, the Labour Minister Nicolas Schmit. 132 employees will be transferred to three other plants (Esch-Belval, Differdange, Luxembourg-Dommeldange). The other 130 will be assigned to the "redeployment unit", where the vast majority will be assigned to work on activities which were previously outsourced.
Their current salary will be maintained. ArcelorMittal is committed to investing an extra 7.75 million euros in the two sites.

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.
