Description
UCSA, a cooperative group providing logistics services, is to hire about 350 people in a new logistics centre in the industrial area of Stradella (Pavia).
The decision stems from a subcontracting agreement with Zalando. The European e-commerce company is to open the hub, its first one outside Germany, in January 2016, but it will outsource the management thereof to UCSA. This job creation is part of a larger recruitment drive by Zalando that will lead to the creation of about 1,000 jobs across Europe.
The announcement was made directly by the management of the well-known e-commerce firm, which assured that staff will be employed on open-ended contracts.
The centre nearby Pavia is expected to reduce the delivery time to Italian clients, and to supply Austria and Switzerland as well.

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.
