Description
Van Netten, German confectioner, will make its last 125 employees redundant. This is due to insolvency. Before the end of 2012, Van Netten terminated the contracts of other 93 workers, who nonetheless have not been laid-off yet. For this reason, the company still employs a total amount of 218 people. Job cuts will be implemented by the end of July. The insolvency administrator until now failed to find an investor, but is reported to be engaged in further negotiations.
Update May 2013: the company's insolvency administrator announced that the company will be wound up at the beginning of June. The number of job losses is therefore 218.

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.
