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.
Huta CMC Zawiercie, the third largest steel producer in Poland, announced a collective dismissal programme affecting 120 employees. The programme has been designed in an agreement with company-level trade unions. 40 of the people to be laid off are acquiring retirement rights or pre-retirement benefits this year. In his announcement, the steelwork's president explained that the dismissals are a consequence of the economic crisis and a decline in steel production. The timeline for the dismissals is five months, until August 2010. It is not ruled out that the actual job reduction will be less if the financial condition of the steelworks improves quickly.
