Poland - Job losses in education disputed - November 30, 2017

According to the Teachers’ Union (ZNP), some 6,500 teachers have lost their jobs as a result of the education reform, which the government launched amid protests. The union said that a further 12,700 teachers have seen their working hours cut and pay reduced, and 5,300 have been forced to work in several schools to keep their income from shrinking.
