Description
TZorg, a provider of home care services (mainly housekeeping and light care work), has been selected by the bankruptcy administrator, the examining judge, and the relevant municipalities to take over the personnel and clients of Solace ATC, which went bankrupt in July 2016. All 225 employees lost their jobs at the time, but all over 200 remaining employees will become employed by TZorg starting on 15 August 2016. Contrary to the trade union FNV's wishes, labour conditions will be somewhat lower than when they were working for Solace ATC. TZorg is active all over the Netherlands, and has in recent years taken over personnel from other home care providers including Zorggroep, Careyn, and TSN.

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.
