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.
Ericsson España will implement 164 redundancies between 21 April and 30 June under an Employment Redundancy File (ERE) agreed with Trade Unions. The measure, initially proposed for 180 employees, was later reduced to 164 and forms part of a broader global reorganisation affecting Europe. The Spanish subsidiary employs more than 2,200 people.
According to union sources, the number of voluntary applications exceeds the available positions, and the monitoring committee is seeking to ensure that all departures are covered by volunteers. However, compulsory redundancies have not been formally ruled out and would be communicated from 21 April onwards.
The company frames the ERE within a strategic shift aimed at improving competitiveness and efficiency in a challenging international environment. As part of this restructuring, Ericsson has reduced its European structure from seven regions to three, generating internal efficiencies and workforce adjustments. The agreement includes severance pay for employees under 53 and over 63, income-support schemes for those aged 53–54, early retirement from 55, and a €5,000 bonus for volunteers.
