Description
Museovirasto (National Board of Antiquities) has announced cuts involving 55 full-time equivalents. The cuts will be implemented by the dismissal of 40 employees and the non-replacement of another 15.
The cuts will mean closures of several smaller museums as well as scaling down operations in others. As budget cuts will be effective already in 2012, dismissals will be decided in February 2012. Other means to cut personnel will include elimination of open positions and voluntary retirements. The Board also seeks other operators (eg. cities, towns) for some of its museums.
The National Board of Antiquities operates museums, conducts research, and performs regulatory functions (ie. performs inspections, issues opinions). Personnel cuts are a result of budget cuts close to 3 million Euros.
Updated, 01-03-2012: The Board has finalised the procedures for cuts, which will affect 42 employees. Direct dismissals will impact 17 employees and another 10 employees will retire. In addition, 15 open positions will not be filled. The Board will also reduce the number of seasonal employees by 10 full-time equivalents. The remaining employees may see cuts in their holiday bonuses or face temporary lay-offs.

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.
