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.
Tastia Group, dedicated to restaurant and catering activities, has presented a proposal for an Employment Redundancy Plan (ERE) that will affect 124 employees.
This ERE is currently under negotiation between the company representatives and the workers in order to reach an agreement on the redundancy conditions. The company has presented an offer that includes the minimum conditions required by Spanish law. At the moment, the workers representatives are studying the documents in order to present their proposals to the company at the negotiating table.
Tastia group is the owner of the brands "Muerde la Pasta" and "The Fitzgerald Burger". It employs 705 people in total, out of which 17% of the workforce are affected by the internal restructuring plan. The Group has 32 premises located in the main Spanish cities.
