Description
Siarkopol, part of Grupa Azoty, which mines sulphur, will carry out group redundancies at its Grzybów plant, laying off 25% of its 700 employees (around 200 people).
The redundancies are part of planned corrective measures aimed at adjusting employment levels to current production needs. The redundancies will affect about 1/4 of the 700 employees, i.e., about 200 people; the layoffs will last from January to April 2025. The trade unions have been informed of the planned redundancy process, and talks with the board are planned.
