Description
Lanjatrans, a leading logistics and transport company in Granada and Eastern Andalusia, has announced plans to close its operations and initiate an Employment Redundancy Process (ERE) that would affect its entire workforce of approximately 160 employees, including drivers and administrative staff.
The company, which operates a fleet of 140 lorries, has informed workers of the planned termination of contracts effective 30 September 2025, although the date remains subject to regulatory approval and possible legal changes. The announcement has caused considerable uncertainty among staff and their families. In a letter sent to employees, Lanjatrans cites the anticipated cessation of business activity as the reason for the ERE, while noting that a workers' representative committee must be formed in advance to facilitate formal negotiations.

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.
