The railway industry has been operating continuously throughout the coronavirus pandemic. We owe this to our employees, who are committed to ensuring railway traffic in this difficult period. The employees of PKP Energetyka supervise the electricity flow, the condition of the distribution and traction network, and the supply of fuel to the sector. It is thanks to their work that the electricity for the railway industry, business and individual customers flows continuously, railway traffic is maintained, goods reach their customers and passengers arrive at their destinations. Examples of the commitment and sense of mission of our employees are demonstrated by our #AlwaysOnDuty campaign. As part of this campaign, photos and videos have been uploaded online, so that everyone can watch and hear the employees talking about their work during the coronavirus emergency. Other entities have also joined the action. They show the reality of work and the solidarity of the industry.
“It is worth showing what the work of railwaymen involves in these strange times. Often it is a huge effort and sacrifice, which is not always noticeable. That's why I'm convinced that more videos should be made as part of the #AlwaysOnDuty campaign.” Dr Inż. Ignacy Góra, President of UTK.
“Our organizations must operate in a completely new reality. This is all the more challenging because it concerns the physical reality; it is not a job you can do remotely. Trains (including international ones) must keep running. The wagons need to be loaded and unloaded. Our customers must have confidence that the logistics chains will not be broken. Our work is the result of the efforts of many people, companies and services, including your company. Without your work, ours couldn't be done. On behalf of EP CARGO, I would like to thank you for your commitment to ensuring that our work can be carried out smoothly. I wish safe work to all PKP Energetyka employees.” Jacek Neska, CEO of EP Cargo Poland.
“We are on standby 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Whenever a failure occurs, employees are mobilized on an emergency basis – like an ambulance. That is why we employ so many specialists. In order for the railways in Poland to operate, our field workers can neither work remotely nor interrupt their tasks. I'm watching further videos sent as part of #AlwaysOnDuty and I'm glad to see that we can thank those on the front line in this way.” Wojciech Orzech, President of PKP Energetyka.
Power engineering and railways are key areas for the economy and people of our country. That is why the employees of PKP Energetyka, especially those working directly in the field, such as control engineers, wiremen, drivers, vehicle operators, foremen, technicians, mechanical engineers, fitters, dispatchers, specialists, inspectors and warehouse keepers, work continuously. They are on the front line and they deserve special thanks for their commitment and sense of mission.
