Description
On 25 September 2012, the president of France Télévisions, the French public broadcast network, has announced in a letter to the workforce, its intention to cut over 500 positions by 2015.
The agreement between France Télévisions and the government, foresees the cut of 500 positions by 2015 (5% of the workforce). It is reported by the unions that the president Rémy Pflimlin wants to go further and to enlarge a former voluntary departure plan to cut 500 supplementary positions. France Télévisions has to deal with a decrease of its budget allowance from the government and an important decrease of advertising contracts. The management wants to use voluntary departures and will negotiate a social plan with forced dismissals if there are not enough volunteers willing to leave the group.

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.
