Polish state-owned rail freight operator PKP Cargo must submit a restructuring plan by the end of this month. A few days before this deadline, the company will need to make a decision on group layoffs, which will likely see more than 2,400 people lose their jobs over the next year and a half.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>Currently, the plan seems to entail 1,041 layoffs by the end of July 2025 and 1,388 more by 30 September 2026. However, the exact number of redundancies and their arrangements will be officialised only after 26 June, when a 20-day consultation between PKP Cargo and trade unions will be concluded. \u201cThe presented information is the most pessimistic scenario of carrying out collective redundancies\u201d, said Izabela Skonieczna-Powa\u0142ka, administrator of the restructuring estate of PKP Cargo.<\/p>\n
