The voluntary departure program for employees of Poczta Polska will cover more than 9,000 employees. people, i.e. 15 percent crew, and will cost the company about PLN 600 million – said Sebastian Mikosz, President of the company, during Wednesday’s press conference. Jerzy Polaczek from PiS commented on the issue.
We have taken a number of important decisions. The first is the launch of a voluntary departure program from Poczta Polska in a few weeks. This is due to the fact that (…) we are the post office in Europe with the highest labor costs as a percentage of turnover. 65 percent of our costs are labor costs. If we look at our competitors, it fluctuates between 35 percent. and 45 percent
– said the president.
As he said, the second decision is to terminate the company’s collective labor agreement, which the unions were informed about on Wednesday morning.
According to Mikosz’s announcement, the voluntary departure program will be a guided program, which means that first an employee assessment will be carried out, then the organizational structure will be changed, and then Poczta Polska will offer selected people to take advantage of the voluntary departure program.
We will target with this program about 15 percent. crew, that is about 9 thousand people; however, we will not target it on groups, but we will target it on individual people who are defined and identified on the basis of the assessment
– said the head of the Polish Post. Mikosz clarified that the program will cover up to 9,000 people. 300 employees.
The cost of the plan (…) is PLN 600 million. This is a cost that we can afford
– Mikosz emphasized.
He added that this would be spread over a year.
Comment from a Pole
Jerzy Polaczek of Law and Justice commented on the case in strong terms.
This is what lawlessness and “setting fire” of the company looks like. On August 12, Minister @MAPGOVPL (WZA) @PocztaPolska dismissed employee representatives from the Supervisory Board. In turn, the Supervisory Board suspended Andrzej Bodziony, a competent and valued representative of the workforce, from the Board of Directors. This is an example of revenge and political madness!
– we read in his submission.
