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.
The municipality of Trollhättan gives notice to 160 out of a total of approximately 5000 employees. The reason for the redundancies is the weak economy of the municipality. A majority of businesses in Trollhättan are related to the automobile industry, which has been strongly affected by the economic recession. Because of the decrease in tax revenue, the municipality is forced to introduce savings pro-grammes and reduce the number of employees.
