2014 Activity

In the fourth quarter of 2014, we approved plans to reduce our workforce in multiple locations as a result of cost containment actions. Workforce reductions resulted in a pre-tax charge of $2 million for severance.

2013 Activity

The 2013 recoveries resulted from refining previous estimates of employee severance and benefit costs.

2012 Activity

In the second quarter of 2012, we approved a plan to eliminate approximately 350 employees, primarily in the U.S., as a result of cost containment actions. These actions have been completed. Workforce reductions resulted in a a pre-tax charge of $7 million. Restructuring and other charges (recoveries), net in 2012 also included severance and employee related costs associated with the elimination of certain positions assumed in the Euroway acquisition offset by benefits from refinements in estimates from restructuring charges in the prior year. During 2012, we also recorded a pre-tax charge of $1 million associated with non-essential leased facilities assumed in the Hill Hire acquisition.
