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.
Finish retail company Suomen Lähikauppa has initiated employer-employee negotiations concerning 520 employees under zero-hour contracts. As this form of contract is not recognized by the union the company will terminate the contracts and divide the working hours over its permanent and part-time workforce.
Suomen Lähikauppa employs a total of 4,600 people in Finland. The restructuring will primarily affect the two retail chains Siwa and Valintatalo.
