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 charges, 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. 2011 Activity During 2011, we eliminated certain positions and terminated non-essential equipment contracts assumed in the Hill Hire and Scully acquisitions, which resulted in a pre-tax charge of $4 million. The following table presents a roll-forward of the activity and balances of our restructuring reserves, including discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011:
