Description
Polish construction company Trakcja PRKiL has announced that it will cut 300 jobs via a collective dismissal programme by the end of June 2017. The restructuring programme results from the delays in the realisation of railway infrastructure investments and the related tendering processes: the main customer of Trakcja PRKiL has been the national railway operator PKP/Polish - State Railways (90% of orders). Moreover, the company is facing a lack of orders from other customers. The company revealed that the programme is part of the strategy to optimise the organisational structure.
Trakcja PRKiL is one of the largest companies operating in the infrastructure and energy construction sector in Poland.

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.
