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 5 January 2012, railway operator Śląski Zakład Przewozów Regionalnych in Katowice announced plans to implement a collective dismissal programme affecting 139 employees.
However, trade union representatives fear that the staff reduction could affect up to 700 people due to lower than expected public financial support from the Śląskie Voivodeship. It is reported that the company will get about 90 mln PLN of support instead of 100 mln PLN as initially predicted.
Unionists are voicing disappointment about the lack of collective bargaining throughout the process. They announced protests.
