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.
Swedish construction company Skanska has announced that it will cut 1,150 jobs across Poland via collective dismissal programme. The conditions of the programme will be negotiated with the local trade union; the programme will be implemented between August and October 2016.
The main reasons behind the decision are a fall in number of public tenders, lower than expected profit from those projects which have been already gained as well as general worsening of the situation in the construction sector.
Currently, the company employs over 6,000 people across the country.
