Description
Car manufacturer Renault is to recruit 300 temporary workers on a 6 to 18 months employment contract for the production of its new commercial vehicle Trafic. The group has invested € 230 million in its plant in Sandouville to move its production from high-end vehicles (that will stop by mid-2015) to commercial ones.
Renault has relocated the production of Trafic from the Opel plant in Lutton (UK) and Nissan in Barcelona (Spain) to Sandouville, with the aim to save this plant that produced only 25,000 cars in 2013 (but 105,000 six years ago).
As reported in addition to the announced job creation plan, the company will call back 400 employees that were employed to other plants within the Renault group.

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.
