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.
Following the examples of ZDF and ARD, the German regional broadcaster Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) plans to cut some 100 jobs in order to reduce its costs. The organisation of WDR will be modified and a higher productivity will be requested from the journalists. WDR employs 4,400 people.
