Polish vodka producer Wyborowa has confirmed a round of job cuts, according to local reports yesterday (30 January).

Wyborowa, owned by French drinks behemoth Pernod Ricard, has reportedly agreed a deal to cut an unspecified number of jobs and to reduce the salaries of remaining workers by 7% from next month.

The Polish Alliance of Trade Unions has claimed that the Wyborowa employees have not agreed to take a pay cut. Wyborowa officials could not be reached for comment as just-drinks went to press.

Last September, Wyborowa said it had struck a deal with its employees to cut a total of 99 jobs from its distillery in Poznan.

The distiller has seen its share of the Polish vodka market slump after a lack of investment behind the Wyborowa brand and strengthening consumer demand for low-priced vodka brands.
