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.
Poczta Polska, the Polish national postal operator, has announced that it plans to cut its employment by up to 2,000 jobs throughout a collective dismissal programme at its units across Poland by the end of 2021. The local trade unions are informed that the programme will be launched on 1 June 2021. The programme is related to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as long-term trends in the postal market.
