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 General Directorate of Public Finances (DGFIP), the national public finance authority of France, announced that it will cut 550 jobs as part of the new national budget plans. In Haute-Loire, almost 10% of the workforce will be cut, 27 positions in the following two to three years.
The cuts are driven by a move toward digitalisation, with the department moving toward greater automation of tax services. Local unions have protested the reductions, calling for the preservation of public services and stronger personal contact with taxpayers. Additionally, unions and employees are also concerned with the intensification of work. Indeed, mental health and suicides have been recorded often within the DGFI, pointing to bad working conditions.
