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.
Latvijas dzelzceļš, a state-owned Latvian railway company, announced that approximately 270 workers would be dismissed as part of an internal restructuring. The reductions concern activities at the Šķirotava, Rēzekne and Daugavpils railway stations, with employment terminations planned for October 2025. The company employed more than 3,330 workers.
The measures are linked to the optimisation of functions, processes and resources, the discontinuation of some freight-wagon repair services, changes to national-security legislation restricting Russian and Belarusian citizens from working at critical-infrastructure sites, and the reorganisation of freight-transport services.
LDz management had met with the railway and transport workers’ trade union to discuss the planned measures.
