Polish incumbent PKP Cargo will lay off 765 employees by the end of September. The decision was made after trade unions did not provide a response to the company\u2019s proposal of reducing benefits included in the collective bargaining agreement (CBA). With this latest initiative, the company now has over 4,400 fewer employees than it did in October 2024.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>The massive layoff operation carried out by PKP Cargo is part of its restructuring plan, which RailFreight.com has extensively followed. The company is in dire need of cutting costs and finding profitable contracts after years of mismanagement. One of the cost-cutting measures concerns reducing the workforce. After 2,515 people were fired and 1,150 more left the company by October 2024, 765 more will now be added to the layoffs list.<\/p>\n
