The Dutch temporary work agency Rotterdam Port Services exclusively employing dock workers has gone bankrupt, leaving the 110 employees jobless. The company has suffered from the high degree of automation in the Rotterdam port area, the more efficient use by hiring companies of their own personnel, as well as the high average age of its workforce and high incidence of absence due to sickness.
