Description
Vlacea county road and bridge operator (RJDPV) is to lay off at least 95 people by the end of 2015. The company, which is responsible for the maintenance and construction of county roads and bridges, has suffered the consequences of unpaid work.
Over the last three years the company's financial situation has worsened. In 2015, provisions for severance payments, up to six months of wages, were made for employees with more than 15 years of seniority. The restructuring plan should be approved by the Valcea County Council so that RJDPV can avoid insolvency.

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.

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.
