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.
Kent County Council (KCC) is aiming to cut 8% of jobs by 2008 according to a letter leaked to the BBC. The letter to all Conservative councillors from council leader Paul Carter also sets a target of a 6% reduction in the staffing budget. It states: 'Fewer, but smarter, better paid staff must be the way ahead.' The job cuts would all be managed through natural wastage. Earlier this month, KCC said its 2% increase in grant compared with a national average of 3% was a 'very hard' settlement. The council said it had already lost one in four back office jobs and was facing 'unique' challenges.
