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 German energy group Uniper is planning to cut 400 full-time positions in Germany, mainly in cross-divisional and administrative functions. The company cites a significant deterioration in the market environment with a sharp drop in electricity prices, particularly on the Nordic market, as the reason for this.
Socially responsible measures are planned, such as not filling vacant positions, severance payments, early retirement and offers to transfer to an employment company. Negotiations with co-determination on voluntary redundancy programmes have been announced.
Uniper employs around 7,600 people worldwide, including 5,000 in Germany, and is Germany's largest natural gas wholesaler and gas storage operator.
