Description
The production site as well as 3 stores of the Salzburg based bakery Flöckner is to be shut down by autumn 2013, making between 50 and 90 employees redundant.
This measure is due to outdated machinery, according to Mr Resch, CEO of the Resch&Frisch group, which has taken over Flöckner at the beginning of 2013.
Besides the closure of the central production site, three out of 15 stores in Salzburg are to be closed down. The production has already been partially moved to Wels, the headquarters of Resch&Frisch.

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.
