Description
Lemminkäinen, a Finnish construction and infrastructure company, has announced redundancies of up to 300 workers from its Finnish operations. The company is continuing negotiations on the details.
The company announced in October that it needs to save 50 million Euros starting in 2013. It projected that up to 300 redundancies would be necessary from its operations worldwide, which total 8000 employees (mainly in Finland, other Nordic countries, Baltic countries and Russia). Lemminkäinen has now confirmed the number and reports that most of the cuts will concern Finland.
Lemminkäinen is perhaps best known for road construction, but it is also involved in building construction.
UPDATE, 03/12/2012 - Finnish company Lemminkäinen has concluded its employer-employee talks and will cut maximum 300 jobs by the end of 2012.

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.
