Description
Riello, an Italian company that produces heating and water heating systems, is to cut 178 jobs (out of 242) at its plant located in Morbegno, in the province of Sondrio.
The reductions follow the company's decision to delocalise the production of burners for heating systems to Poland, where Riello has a plant at Torun, with around 500 employees. According to the company, the decision to delocalise is mainly due to the need to reduce the labour costs and to strengthen Riello's position in different markets.
The trade unions have reacted to the company's decision with organized actions and request for negotiations in order to find measures to reduce the negative effect of delocalisation.
The timeline for the restructuring is yet to be announced.

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.
