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.
Sistemi Informativi, the Italian subsidiary of IBM software group, announced the intention to dismiss 156 workers at the sites in Rome (135), Turin (6), Milan (12) and Perugia (3). The dismissals are attributed to the demand-supply crisis in the IT sector, declining profits and the difficulty in securing contracts with the public administration.
According to the trade unions the dismissals are due to 'irresponsible management'. Trade unions have announced protest actions and strikes against the restructuring plan. The first meeting between unions and the company was held on 27 June. Official negotiations will start in August.
