Description
Zagreb Holding, responsible for various communal services in Zagreb, announced its plan to employ 139 new bus and tram drivers in Zagreb City Transport. Zagreb's public transportation system (Zagrebacki elektricni tramvaj – ZET) consists of buses and trams that go throughout the city and extend beyond to close cities including Velika Gorica where the airport is located.
The recruitment is set to start immediately after the announcement. The new hires will receive training for six months and have one month introduction and driving practice with older colleagues.
According to trade unions, the number of accidents in the last few years increased due to shortage of drivers. Trade unions also demanded an increase in the number of ticket inspectors, but they will be mostly transferred from other departments.

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.
