Description
Inalfa Roof Systems, a manufacturer of vehicle roof systems based in Venray, announced an internal restructuring as a remedy to recent loss-making years. Around 85 workers will be dismissed out of the 750 workers employed at the plant in Venray.
The internal restructuring is not a surprising move for Inalfa since the company is experiencing a large loss on an investment project in Poland and is suffering from declining car sales in China. In addition, Brexit and the trade dispute between US and China are also negatively impacting orders for suppliers involved in the global automotive industry supply chain.
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.
