Description
Industrial group Stork announced on 15 September 2006 that it will cut 215 jobs at the Aerospace division. The reasons for this are both the delay in the production schemes for airplanes like the Airbus 380 and the wish to become more competitive. The reorganisation will hit three locations: 185 jobs in Hoogeveen and Papendrecht and 30 in Geldrop. The estimated result of the measures will be a reduction in costs of some 25 million euro. Since the beginning of 2006 Stork already scrapped 110 temporary jobs.
The Stork group recently came under attack from two hedge funds (Centaurus and Paulson) that demand the splitting up of the Stork Group by selling the Technical Services and Food Systems divisions and keeping only the Aerospace division.

European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
