Description
On 13 May 2013, Autoneum France announced to its works council a reorganization plan with the closure of its plant in Dieppe (112 employees). The plant is specializing in manufacturing of products for soundproofing and thermal insulation for automobiles.
As announced, the company faces overcapacities linked to the decline of vehicle production in France and will relocate the production of Dieppe to its other plants in Blainville-sur-Orne, Beauvais and Toulouse. Perhaps some activities could also be relocated to Belgium or Poland. The production will stop in the beginning of 2014. Additionally, the company will also cut about 12 positions at its headquarters in Aubergenville (Yvelines). The management highlights the possibility of 20 internal replacements for the affected employees.

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.
