Description

Polskie Koleje Państwowe InterCity (PKP InterCity), the state-owned railway operator, plans to cut between 1800 and 2000 jobs in October 2010. About 100 jobs will be cut in offices across Poland and about 32 in the company headquarter. On 1 October, 2010 PKP Intercity has launched a 50 million zloty worth Voluntary Retirement Programme. The board expects that around 2000 employees will apply for it. If the program does not bring expected results, the company will implement a collective dismissal program in the first half of 2011.
