Description

The Polish Army is undergoing restructuring and will cut 2400 civilian military jobs by the end of 2010. In a first phase, employees from over 80 stations - that the Ministry of Defence consider as surplus to requirements - will lose their jobs. In a second phase, jobs from various military districts will be eliminated. The Polish Army plans to cut 4500 civilian jobs in total by the end of 2012, but so far only the 2400 job cuts in 2010 have been confirmed.
