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.
Gloucestershire County Council has announced that there will be at least 200 job losses over the next two years. It stated that this is due to cuts in government funding, creating a £60m funding gap, a growing demand for services, and an aging population. The authority hopes to avoid compulsory redundancies, and committed to supporting staff affected by the changes. Ian Ducat, regional secretary of UNISON South West, said: "We welcome the early notice from the council that it believes it is facing a large funding gap. We will obviously have to consult our members and get their reaction over the course of the next few weeks." No information was given on the number of staff currently employed or when these cuts would start to take effect.
