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.
The Confederation of Christian Trade Unions in Belgium unveiled plans to cut 200 workplaces from now until August 2015.
Reportedly, this is due to the organisation’s financial difficulties.
According to the union’s leader, the job cuts will be implemented via the early retirement of workers older than 58. There will be no forced dismissals.
