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.
Workers at distribution firm Allied Logistics have been informed by management that they were seeking to reduce staffing at the company's facility in Dublin from 250 down to 75. The redundancies are being blamed on the loss of a contract for the distribution of chilled and frozen products for Dunnes Stores.
In a statement, Allied expressed regret that it was likely to have to make up to 175 staff redundant following "the decision of a major Irish grocery multiple to seek to terminate significant logistics contracts to distribute milk, chilled and frozen food to its Irish outlets". Allied has been providing Dunnes Stores with logistics services since early 2007.
