Industrial relations and restructuring: some recent cases (info sheet)

Eurofound’s European Restructuring Monitor (ERM) recorded 3073 restructuring cases in the 27 EU Member States from October 2008 to March 2010, a 53% rise on the previous 18-month period – indicating that many more companies launched restructuring programmes as they were affected by the recession and suggesting that media attention on restructuring also increased during the economic turbulence.
