Description
US fast food chain McDonalds’s has announced it will create 1,000 jobs in 2014 when it opens 100 new restaurants across Poland. The restructuring programme is due to the development of the chain in Poland. The sources report that the company is recruiting people of all ages, as well as people aged over 50. The chain has launched a media campaign "McDonald’s believes in young people in Poland” promoting the employment of this age group in its company.
For the most recent restructuring event at McDonalds in Poland see 2013.
