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 8 April 2011, a railway operator Przewozy Regionalne in Katowice announced that it will implement collective dismissal programme affecting 325 employees from 9 May 2011 until 30 November 2011. The dismissals will affect all staff servicing the connections - e.g. drivers, trainmen, cashiers, maintenance worker, communicators, inspectors, and consignors.
The workforce reduction is a response to the creation of Koleje Śląskie, a new regional railway operator in the Śląskie Voivodeship, which will be operating on the same railway connections/routes.
