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 25 October 2011 Telekomunikacja Polska (TP- Polish Telecom) announced a voluntary dismissals programme affecting 1150 people in 2012. The cuts are part of a restructuring programme named "Social Agreement 2012-2013", which is a bilateral agreement between the company and local trade unions.
The core point of this programme is the voluntary dismissals programme, which will be introduced on 1 January 2012. 1150 people are expected to be affected by the programme in 2012 and as much in 2013.
The programme is directed at people with a minimum six years of placement. The affected workers will receive a severance pay (from 4 to 15 months' wages). Moreover, people with a minimum of twenty years of placement will receive additional compensation worth 20,000 PLN (aprox. 4,500 EUR).

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
