TP Internet journalist team to file lawsuit after being suddenly sacked by portal

The whole journalist team of 33 people including one high ranking company official at TP Internet (TPI) was let go because of organizational and economic reasons. The situation is a result of new practices on the internet portals market. So far, most portals have provided their own services, but now they tend to buy information from specialized agencies. As a consequence journalists working for them lose their jobs. "There is no sense in a portal supporting its service when there are specialized companies to do the job," said Maria Skowron Szafranska from CDM Pekao S.A. The laid off journalists complain the decision has not been consulted with them and said they are going to file a lawsuit against TPI. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 4) J.K.
