The old African saying “when two growth and it is, one of the strongest elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers” can sometimes be a metaphor for the plight of employees in a merger and acquisition (M&A) process. Often, M&A tends to focus on the synergy benefits from capital and material resources at the expense of the human resources (employees in particular). Globally, M&A are essential for corporate growth and it is, one of the strongest corporate restructuring tools. Do employees have rights in a merger? Are these rights really enforceable or is it truly the case of the unheard grass at the elephants' stomp?.
