Description
The Swiss based lingerie manufacturer Triumph is to shed 350 jobs in Austria. Two production sites, one in Aspang (Lower Austria) with 97 employees and one in Oberpullendorf (Burgenland) with 112 employees are to be shut down. Furthermore, 45 jobs are to be made redundant in the production site in Oberwart (Burgenland) and 96 in the company's Austrian headquarter in Wiener Neustadt (Lower Austria). These measures are part of a larger cost-cutting programme (Triumph-WO2013 ). The step was due to decreased demand and the comparatively high production costs in the country as compared to other production sites abroad. Already in 2010, the company closed down a production site in the Styrian town of Hartberg (Triumph- AT2010).

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.
