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 employment pension insurance company Ilmarinen has initiated employer-employee negotiations to cut up to 180 jobs in 2018-2020. The reduction is due to the merger of the employment pension insurance companies Etera and Ilmarinen in January 2018. The two companies currently have a total of 801 employees, and employees of both companies will be treated equally in the negotiations. Ilmarinen states that the final number of redundancies is likely to be significantly lower than the estimated maximum, as the merger will be gradual and around 50 people are expected to retire in the next two years, which alleviates the pressure to restructure.
