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.
Majorel, a Spanish call centre operator, has announced a large-scale collective redundancy plan (ERE) affecting 769 employees at its Zaragoza and Barcelona offices, and making this one of the most significant recent job cuts in the city.
The company has, for the first time in recent restructuring processes, cited economic losses since 2024 in addition to organisational and productive grounds. Trade unions have expressed scepticism, demanding detailed financial data to substantiate these claims.
The negotiation period will last one month, with several meetings scheduled throughout May. Unions have also strongly criticised the scale of the proposed cuts, describing the plan as disproportionate and warning that it could signal a gradual closure and relocation of activity. Some have called for industrial action, arguing that stable employment is being sacrificed while temporary workers continue to be hired.
The company experienced some restructring experiences in 2023, 2024 and 2026, with job losses of 223, 133 and 329 jobs, respectively. Majorel 2023-ES Majorel 2024-ES Majorel 2026-ES
