Description

Telekomunikacja Polska, Poland's national telecoms operator, plans to dismiss 3,500 employees in the year 2005 (out of a combined work force of 30,385). These redundancies are caused by increasing competition following progressive deregulation of the telecoms sector and the resultant need to realise savings.
