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.
The private Czech provider of passenger rail and bus transport RegioJet wants to create 150 new job vacancies in the Moravian-Silesian Region. This occurs as RegioJet will replace Czech Railways from 15 December 2019 and the company wants to create a fast train line for Bohumín-Brno. Therefore, the company's owner announced that they want to recruit skilled people as steward, team leader, engineer, mechanic or dispatcher and driver. The owner further mentioned that drivers have to be capable of driving the most modern multi-system locomotives in Europe. The recruitment day will take place on 8 June in Ostrava.
