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.
Last March, the Coca-Cola Company announced that it is to restructure its marketing department in Europe, reducing its workforce from 120 to 150 highly skilled employees. Information and consultation process is completed in France (20 lays off) where the company has its headquarters. The French union CFDT lamented the fact that French employees will compete with English employees for the same positions and the former will be disadvantaged because interviews will be carried out exclusively in English.
