Description
Yanmar Compact Equipment, a Japanese manufacturer in the mechanical engineering sector, is cutting around 290 jobs at its production site in Crailsheim (Baden Württemberg), which will be closed by the end of 2025. 50 employees in central functions are to be transferred to Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Bavaria).
The closure is being carried out to increase productivity and efficiency, which will be relocated entirely to the Saint-Dizier site (France). This will primarily affect production jobs.
The company has announced that it will work with the works council to find a socially acceptable solution.
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.
