Ethics in the digital workplace
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.
French Schneider Electric, provider of services in the area of energy management and production of electrical equipment is to cut 231 jobs in its factory (Transformateurs) in Petit-Quevilly.
The company highlights that the restructuring is due to the sharp decline in demand and as announced, only 80 employees will remain by mid-2014.
The CGT union has denounced the plan.
