Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Fedex, an international logistics and courier service, has announced it will dismiss 350 employees at its facility in Zaventem.
The restructuring is part of a larger scale operation across Europe, which will lead to the dismissal of approximately 1700-2000 people. Most of the dismissals will take place among support services in back-office and commercial functions. Employees that are involved in handling shipments are not expected to be affected by the restructuring.
Trade unions state that they not plan to organise actions themselves but will support them if employees would be willing to organise.
A previous restructuring event of Fedex in Belgium has been recorded in the ERM events database and can be found here Fedex-2021-BE. The ongoing European wide restructuring event of Fedex has also been recorded in the database FedEx-2024-EU.
