Euroopa autotööstuse ebaühtlane ümberkujundamine
Kuigi suuremahulised koondamised suurtes tootjates domineerivad pealkirjades, on selle ümberkorralduse tegelik mõju kõige teravamalt tuntav laiemas tarneahelas. See artikkel käsitleb töökohtade kaotuste ebaühtlast jaotust, tootmise kasvavaid geograafilisi muutusi ning tööhõiveootuste püsivat haprust kogu sektoris.Restructuring legislation: 2023–2025 developments
Eurofound’s ERM restructuring legislation database offers an overview of key restructuring-related regulations in the EU Member States and Norway. Its content is continuously updated to reflect any changes made by national legislators in response to, for instance, policy shifts, legal precedents, economic fluctuations or social needs. Recent updates to the database reveal several changes in national legislation that could have significant impacts on workers.Battery manufacturing in the EU: From hope to crisis to hope again?
Can Europe still achieve its ambitions for battery manufacturing? To answer this, the article looks at data from Eurofound’s European Restructuring Monitor and explores what recent large-scale restructuring events reveal about the state of play in the EU battery sector.Eurofound monitoring tools
The employment impact of restructuring has been featuring in the policy agenda. For example, the EU has introduced several measures to enhance employee information and consultation processes at the enterprise level, which can help mitigate the employment impact of restructuring. Notable initiatives include the Collective Redundancies Directive, the Preventive Restructuring Directive, the Information and Consultation Directive, and the European Works Council Directive. The EU Quality Framework for Anticipation of Change and Restructuring calls on companies and workers to prepare and manage restructuring in a socially responsible manner. Additionally, on 12 March 2025, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the social and employment aspects of restructuring processes: the need to protect jobs and workers' rights. The resolution includes a call for the protection of jobs and workers' rights and stresses the importance of early anticipation of restructuring and of meaningful social dialogue.
The European Union has also set up a fund specifically for restructuring issues. The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) is a specific solidarity fund to support workers who lost their jobs because of globalisation. The instrument was renewed and expanded from 2021 to 2027 to also cover structural changes related to globalisation, financial or economic crises, the transition to a low-carbon economy, digitisation or automation. As an emergency fund, the EGF operates reactively to assist displaced workers affected by major restructuring events.
The legal landscape of restructuring is further complemented by various other EU initiatives, notably the European Pillar of Social Rights. The pillar is structured around three categories: equal opportunities and access to the labour market; fair working conditions; and social protection and inclusion. In the area of social dialogue and involvement of workers, the Pillar highlights that workers or their representatives have the right to be informed and consulted in good time on matters relevant to them, in particular on the transfer, restructuring and merger of undertakings and on collective redundancies. In this context, the Directive on Transparent and Predictable Working Conditions is a key piece of legislation, implementing some of the principles set out in the Pillar.

Digitaalseks minek: jaepanganduse ümberkorraldustrendid
Jaepangandussektor on viljakas pinnas digitaliseerimise mõju uurimiseks tööle ja tööhõivele. Finantsteenuseid pakutakse üha enam veebis, ilma kliendiga suhtlevate asutuste vahenduseta. Paljud pangad selles sektoris on pärast ülemaailmset finantskriisi läbi teinud järjestikku restruktureerimist ning see on üks väheseid teenindussektoreid, kus tööhõive on seisma jäänud või vähenenud. Lisaks tehnoloogilistele muutustele teenuste osutamises reageerib sektor ka teistele väljakutsetele, sealhulgas suurenenud regulatiivsele ja vastavuskoormusele, fintechi konkurentsile ning madalatele intressimääradele ja vähenenud kasumlikkusele. Selles aruandes toodud juhtumiuuringud kirjeldavad hiljutiste restruktureerimiste näiteid sektoris, mis neid ümberstruktureerimist motiveeris, kuidas seda juhtiti ning kuidas see mõjutas tööhõivet, töökorraldust ning muid ärilisi ja töötajate tulemusi.

ERM report 2020: Restructuring across borders
This report has a dual focus. First, it reviews recent restructuring activity in the EU, from January 2019 up to and including the first impacts of the COVID-19 crisis. The second part presents an analysis of transnational restructuring cases – those that affect workers in more than one country. The main source for both analyses is the European Restructuring Monitor events database, which has collected details of over 25,000 large-scale restructurings since it began in 2002, including nearly 2,000 since the beginning of 2019. The review of the data on transnational restructuring is complemented with a summary of case studies based on international relocations of production. The aim is to highlight the types of dispute that arise, how the restructuring is managed by management and the social partners, and what the outcomes are for the workers affected.
