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.
Dutch supermarket operator Laurus said it is planning to reduce the permanent workforce of 460 FTEs (full time equivalent) at its Beilen distribution centre by a total of 59 FTEs between 1 October 2005 and the end of September 2006. The workload on the Beilen distribution centre, which has already lessened as a result of the optimisation of the logistics network and the closure of unprofitable stores, will decrease still further with the completion of the new West distribution centre in mid-2006 and internal process improvements. The measures now being taken are intended to bring current and future staffing levels into line with workload.
The trade union organisations will be consulted on the application of the Laurus 'Total Social Plan' and the central workers council has been asked to give its advice.
