Slovak Railways dismissed 2105 employees in 2005. That was more (by 673 employees)than the management had originally planned. The dismissals decreased the annual labour cost of the company by SKK 113 million. Employment in Railways was reduced to 19,663 employees by the end of 2005. According to the company management further staff reduction is foreseen in 2006-7.
