Description
Schulte, German manufacturer of meat products, is planning to give notice to 62 out of its 252 employees in Dissen by the end of September 2015. In addition, between 40 and 50 temporary staff will have to leave the company.
The company has been struggling for several years and originally announced a year ago plans for dismissing 170 of its employees. The works council is now pleased that the job reduction is not as extensive and considers the job cuts as a “sustainable solution”.
The social plan set in place does not foresee the setting up of a transfer agency. Employees who accept the dismissal will receive a one off payment of €5,000. The job reduction mainly targets young employees without children.

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.
