Description
Fondazione Tommaso Campanella, the organisation managing an hospital specialised in cancer treatment and research, is to close and dismiss its 245 workers.
The organisation has been declared bankrupt by the Tribunal of Catanzaro due to its significant debts and the absence of relevant assets. The affected workers are mainly health staff, including doctors, researchers and nurses. Workers are issuing legal action against the closure.
Update, 16/11/2015: The hospital has been closed. The employees lost their jobs as of 30 October 2015, though a legal dispute over the closure is still ongoing. As the organisation is owned by the local public university and the Calabria region, workers fall within rules concerning redundancies for public employees. As a consequence, the region is activating measures to ensure the relocation thereof within other structures.

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.
