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.
South Tyneside council plans to make substantial jobs cuts by leaving 132 empty posts unfilled and making a further 87 redundancies because of a predicted £29 million budget shortfall. The authority has pledged to protect front-line service and reduce 'back office duplication.' The union Unison, which represents 3,500 workers at the council, says it will resist compulsory redundancies. Council leader Paul Waggott said: 'we have managed to identify a programme of efficiency savings. This has not been easy and it has involved some difficult decisions, but we have done all that we can to protect and build on our priorities.'
