Description

Manufacturer of helicopters and aviation parts PZL Świdnik has announced that will cut 100 jobs via voluntary dismissal programme by the end of 2015. The company has signed a bilateral agreement with the local trade unions setting out the conditions of the dismissal procedures. The restructuring programme is caused by the declining demand for military and civil helicopters. PZL-ŚWIDNIK SA was established in 1951. Since January 2010 the AgustaWestland company is the major shareholder of PZL-Świdnik.
