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.
Healthcare group Careyn is to cut 650 FTE jobs and close 8 of the 28 eldercare services centres. As reported, following an announcement of goverment budget cuts, the cost saving plan envisages that around 1,000 people will lose their jobs.
According to the sources, the central works council has agreed to the restructuring plan but there is no agreement with the unions that had asked for a job guarantee as part of the social plan. Careyn did not rule out forced dismissals, but promised that it will pay a supplement to the unemloyment benefit for a minimum period of one year. Furthermore, Careyn will provide support in finding a new job to the affected employees.
