Description
Savio, a manufacturer of components for aluminium windows and doors, opened a collective dismissal procedure for 82 out of the 304 workers employed at the plant in Chiusa San Michele (Turin).
The company has 450 employees across its sites in Italy, Spain and China and is already benefiting from short-time working arrangements (so-called solidarity contracts, contratti di solidarieta).
The decision follows negative developments in the Russian, Spanish and Middle East markets. The job cuts will affect blue-collar workers.
Workers went on strike to protest against the decision. Unions have requested a withdrawal of the dismissals and an extension instead of the solidarity contracts.
Update, 05/07/2017: The collective dismissal procedure has been closed with a reduction of job losses in spite of the absence of an agreement with unions. The company will eventually dismiss 56 workers and support the relocation of some of them to other companies.

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.
