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.
The multinational company Bridgestone has announced its intention to apply for a Redundancy Procedure affecting 442 employees in Spain. The measure will affect to 184 employees of the plant in Basauri (Basque Country); 32 employees of the plant in Usansolo (Basque Country); 109 employees of the plant in Burgos (Castilla y León); and 117 employees of the plant in Puente de San Miguel (Cantabria).
The measure is currently being negotiated between the company, the workers committee and the trade unions. The unions have proposed an alternative, but they are also preparing for a 9-day strike if the dismissals go ahead. Workers’ assemblies are planned at all 4 sites, where any decisions concerning protest actions will be taken.
