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.
On 6 October 2008, the Hewlet Packard group announced that it will scrap 560 jobs in the Netherlands. The restructuring is part of a worldwide process due to the takover of Electronic Data Systems (EDS). Jobs will be cut at both EDS and Hewlet Packard NL. Forced dismissals seem unavoidable. HP NL employees are covered by a social plan, their colleagues at EDS are not.
