European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)

All 120 employees of the bus company NOW, based in Kongsberg, Norway, lose their jobs as the company is bankrupt, after only two months of operation. The company filed for bankruptcy after its board concluded that NOW did not have the sufficient capital for further operation, on October 11. The employees were informed the same morning, while all of the bus routes were immediately cancelled. More than 100 of the employees were drivers, mostly based in Notodden and Kongsberg.
