Carlsberg Polska announces group redundancies

Brewer Carlsberg Polska said that it is going to undertake a restructuring effort in November, which will lead to group layoff of 150 people. The redundancies will affect every department of the company. "The measures are a response to the competitive situation in the industry  (a long -term decline of beer prices) and are carried out in order to adapt the company to the market environment," the company said. The matter is being discussed with unions. "All employees whose jobs will be liquidated, will receive all the benefits provided by law, and additional severance pay. They will also be able to benefit from a comprehensive program of support in the search for a new job," Carlsberg informed. The company currently employs 1,400 workers.
