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.
According to Handelsblatt information, Swedish energy company Vattenfall will shed about a third of all posts in customer services in Germany - about 300 jobs. Management has not given precise figures or a timeline yet, but says that there will be no direct dismissals. It is reported that the company had considered to outsource the customers service entirely, but decided against it.
Job cuts will affect sites at Hamburg and Berlin, where a total of 900 are employed in private and business customer services.
