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.
French construction group Eiffage is to recruit about 400 people for the work site for the upcoming Brittany-Pays de la Loire high speed line (LGV). The company will launch a campaign to recruit 240 engine drivers and 160 form setters and assistants for civil engineering. Construction work is to start in July 2012.
Eiffage had previously announced that it is to create 3800 new jobs in France in 2012. According to the management the new jobs are likely to be created in the Paris region. However no indication was given on the net employment effect, i.e. taking into account the total number of employees that will retire in 2012.
