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.
Wengage, a call centre company headquartered in Diegem and operating across Belgium, has announced a collective dismissal affecting 400 of its 3,500 employees. The restructuring is driven by client demands for increased flexibility, notably from major customers such as Telenet, Luminus and Voo. A significant proportion of the eliminated positions will be replaced by temporary contracts, a move strongly criticised by trade unions SETCa and CNE. Union representatives argue that this strategy promotes precarious employment and undermines job security, reflecting a broader trend towards casualisation in the labour market. The exact number of workers impacted at the Liège site remains unclear, but unions anticipate substantial social consequences.
