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.
On 20 February 2014 the municipality of Amsterdam announced it will cut at least 900 jobs in the coming two years. Background to the restructuring are budget cuts by the central government and the requirement to make operations more efficient. Forced dismissals will be avoided as much as possible. Since 2010 the number of jobs in the city authority have already been reduced from 15,714 to the present 12,900.
