Description
On 26 May 2017, the producer of heavy load transport vehicles Transporter Industry International (TII) announced it will be cutting some 200 jobs in Germany. The affected sites are Pfedelbach, where 500 employees are currently working at the subsidiary Scheuerle Fabrikfahrzeuge and the subsidiary Kamag, which employs 250 staff members in Ulm.
The job cuts are due to the weak economic situation within the oil, steel and ship building industry. Affected will be employees at the production and the administration department. The restructuring is set to be completed by the end of spring 2018. TII wants to avoid compulsory redundancies and aims to implement job cuts through a retirement programme and by not filling job vacancies. The management is negotiating with the German metalworkers’ union IG Metall and the works’ council at the moment.
TTI employs 750 staff members in Germany and about 1,000 worldwide. Further sites are in France and India, but these will not be affected by the current restructuring.

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.
