Description
The Fabryka Łożysk Tocznych, a manufacturer of roller bearings, has announced that 310 people will be laid off at the Kraśnik plant.
The reason for the layoffs is the factory's difficult financial situation, caused, among other things, by high energy costs. Initially, 81 people will be laid off, later an additional 230; the layoffs have already begun and will last until the end of June. The trade unions negotiated fewer layoffs in the first round (from 120 to 81), and the local Labour Office was informed about the layoffs.
Fabryka Łożysk Tocznych produces bearings for the automotive, agricultural, industrial machinery, mining and renewable energy industries and is controlled by the Chinese Tri-Ring Group.
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.
