Description
Odelo Slovenija, a subsidiary of the German based Odelo (owned by the Turkish Bayraktarlar since 2012), is located in Prebold in Savinjska region. Odelo produces lightening equipment (complex taillight systems and LEDs) for main automobile producers, like BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Volkswagen and Porsche. After the purchase of the old premises from Mura (the textile company in bankruptcy proceedings), the company is setting up a new production unit in Črešnjevci (Prekmurska region). Odelo has already launched the assembly of rear car lights while still renovating the space for further expansion of production.
Odelo Slovenija now employs 900 workers all together and, according to the director, intends to employ “few dozens of workers†more in the next year. Journalists (N. Koražija and M. Bertoncelj) claim that, according to their own sources, the number of newly hired workers will be much higher. Mura’s bankruptcy manager says that several hundred of employees will be hired due to Odelo's business expansion.

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.
