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.
Telecom installation company Relacom is reducing its Norwegian staff by 350 employees. Units in the eastern and central parts of the country will be most affected. Both administrative personnel and telecom installers will be affected.
The stated goal of the restructuring is to increase competitiveness.
A majority of the job cuts will be implemented through voluntary retirements, but a significant number of staff will be dismissed. The exact number of direct dismissals is not yet clear. The company is aiming at finishing the restructuring before October 1st this year.
The ERM already reported on announced job reductions at Relacom in 2010.
