Bratislava, Slovakia – November 30, 2025 – A significant wave of automation has swept thru several warehouses, resulting in the displacement of hundreds of workers, according to a report published today by Vosveteit.sk.The implementation of robotic systems marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing evolution of the logistics industry and raises concerns about the future of employment in roles traditionally held by human workers.
The shift,currently impacting facilities across Slovakia,represents an initial phase in a potentially widespread restructuring of the labor market. Experts predict that increasing adoption of automation technologies in warehousing and logistics coudl lead to substantial job losses in the coming years, necessitating workforce retraining and adaptation.
