Are layoffs coming at the carrier? "Analysis on employment optimization"

PKP Cargo is undergoing a restructuring plan aimed at revitalizing the company, which includes a detailed analysis of its operations, particularly regarding employment optimization. While specifics on potential layoffs have not been disclosed, the company emphasizes that any future actions will involve dialogue with employees and social partners. Unions are protesting the lack of progress in negotiations over the Collective Labor Agreement and are demanding the payment of approximately 20 million PLN in overdue social benefits. Since the restructuring process began in summer 2024, PKP Cargo has reduced its workforce by 3,665 employees, with an additional 450 layoffs in 2025, leaving over 8,000 employees by the end of last year.
