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.
Avis, a Spanish car-rental company, has announced a redundancy plan (ERE) that will affect 132 employees in its customer-service centre located in Barcelona.
An indefinite strike has been organised by trade unions demanding consultation and protection of jobs.
Trade unions believe that the company seeks to offshore its service to Bulgaria, Poland and the Philippines. The move is driven by cost pressures rather than losses, with the company reporting that it has no deficits but aims to shift operations abroad.
