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 Department for Work and Pensions has announced that it is to recruit 6000 staff to work in JobCentres as levels of unemployment in the UK grow. The announcement reverses the previous policy of the department to close or merge Jobcentres, which had seen a reduction in the number of Jobcentre staff by 16000 with the closure of 492 branches. As of 30 November 2008 it is not known when or at what sites the new jobs will be created, or how many people currently work at all JobCentres in the UK. The Department for Work and Pensions is the department of the UK government responsible for running Jobcentres in the UK.
