Up to 80 PKP employees from a wide range of functions will move to KM.<\/p>\n<p>On the agreement with KW, PKP Cargo\u2019s acting president Marcin Wojew\u00f3dka stated: \u201cThe possibilities that the signed agreement brings are not only a chance to find a job for another group of employees in the Wielkopolska region, but above all, the development of competences, new opportunities and professional experience with a new employer.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/business\/2024\/07\/04\/pkp-cargo-to-layoff-over-4000-employees\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PKP-Cargo-terminal-128x128.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/business\/2024\/07\/04\/pkp-cargo-to-layoff-over-4000-employees\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">PKP Cargo to lay off over 4,000 employees<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>According to another board member, the two agreements mean that there is now a total of eleven signed letters of intent to find replacement jobs for those who stand to be fired at PKP Cargo. Supposedly, the currently signed agreements allow for the transfer of almost 2,000 employees to other companies. This is almost half of the total amount of staff to be fired, as was announced by PKP Cargo earlier.<\/p>\n<h2>Fake job scandal<\/h2>\n<p>There is some uncertainty surrounding the actual number of employees to be fired. According to Polish publication Onet, a large number of staff at PKP Cargo had double or triple fake jobs. They received salaries for those jobs, without doing the work in reality. Some documents acquired by the publication suggested that potentially hundreds of fake jobs existed at a single plant of the company.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"readmore\">\n<div class=\"readmore-item\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/business\/2024\/08\/14\/pkp-cargo-had-fictitious-double-or-triple-jobs-possibly-fewer-layoffs\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/PKP-Cargo-building-1-128x128.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"readmore-thumbnail\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"readmore-info\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.railfreight.com\/business\/2024\/08\/14\/pkp-cargo-had-fictitious-double-or-triple-jobs-possibly-fewer-layoffs\/\" class=\"readmore-title\">\u2018PKP Cargo had fictitious double or triple jobs\u2019, possibly fewer layoffs<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PKP Cargo has signed letters of intent with Koleje Wielskopolskie (KW) and Koleje Mazowieckie (KM) on the transfer of its employees.
