Description
Presstalis, the logistics company which delivers about 75% of all French newspapers to newsagents, will cut between 1,000 and 1,200 jobs.
The government and newspaper publishers have reached this agreement in an effort to avoid the placement of Presstalis in receivership. Presstalis is the former NMPP founded in 1947 to allow publishers to sell their newspapers for reduced costs. In 2011, NMPP had been changed into Presstalis, a private company with two shareholders: a cooperative of newspapers’ publishers and a cooperative of magazine’s publishers.
Now, the company has green light to take up its activities. The company currently employs 2,500 people.
UPDATE 22/02/13: The company will make 1250 job cuts (50% of its workforce) instead of 1,000-1,200 previously 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.
