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.
Electrolux, a multi-national group that produces domestic appliances, is to create 250 new jobs in Porcia. The Electrolux site in Porcia produces washing machines, and employs 2,600. The workers that are to be recruited in Porcia will be employed on fixed-term contracts. Subsequently, an agreement on the recruitment of the workers between Electrolux management and trade unions was necessary as the firm's decision to hire workers on fixed-term contracts potentially breached a provision in the company collective agreement between unions and management.
Electrolux employs 10,000 in Italy and has several plants in the country. The group is the world's largest producer of domestic appliances and in Italy acquired Zanussi and Rex, two traditional Italian household manufacturers.
