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.
Cheshire East Council has announced that it expects to cut 300-350 jobs by the end of March 2011, about 5% of its total workforce, due to restructuring. This follow the council already having identified 241 positions that faced redundancy or redeployment in October 2009, following its formation to replace individual borough authorities last April. It stated that it hopes to make the cuts through redeployment, re-skilling and voluntary redundancy, but added that if not enough volunteers can be found compulsory redundancies would be made. Details have not yet been released as to which departments the cuts are to come from. Roland Domleo, councillor for Congleton Town West and portfolio holder for adult services, pictured, said: "As the council has re-designed itself it has resulted in surplus staff. Roland Domleo, councillor for Congleton Town West and portfolio holder for adult services said "The council is keen to put those for whom there is no post into a redeployment pool to see if they could be trained to do another job. Staff have been aware from the beginning there could be further redundancies. This is the way the Government wanted to do things to make sure we become more efficient."
