Union of Railway Employers joins Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers



5.02.2018

 

Another trade organisation joined the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers lately – the Union of Railway Employers.

The organization established in 2001 has been operating since 2001 and currently has 30 members – companies belonging to the URE employ as of now approximately 90 thousand people.

The URE is a self-governing organization independent in its statutory activity from bodies of the state administration or the territorial government as well as from political, social and professional organisations.

The main goal of the Union is to protect the rights and represent the interests of the associated members in talks with trade unions, state institutions and administration as well as bodies of the territorial government.

The Union is an active participant in social dialogue within the Tripartite Team for the Railway. It influences the shaping of legislation concerning the interests of employers associated in the Union, through participation in the committee sessions of Sejm and Senate (lower and upper chambers of the Polish Parliament, respectively). It also participates in the creation of social mechanisms for resolving collective disputes with employers associated in the Union and represents employers in negotiations with the social side and in mediation proceedings.

It supports employers by organising legal, economic, and organisational consultations. Recognising the needs of its members, it takes care of the development of the competencies of the managerial staff, including through the organisation and financial support of life-long learning (post-graduate studies). The Union initiates and supports cultural and social activities, as well as undertakes charity in the area related to the activity of its members. It also pays particular attention to nurturing the rich railway traditions

However, we must unequivocally state that its current scope remains insufficient. This initiative marks a promising and much-needed first step toward meaningful deregulation in Europe, but it stops short of the bold, pragmatic, and forward-looking measures required to unlock Europe’s digital potential and secure its long-term economic prosperity.

ZPP Position on the EU Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap

The European Commission presented its new European Defence Industry Transformation Roadmap, which seeks to apply lessons learned from the war in Ukraine for adapting Europe’s defence capabilities to the realities of modern warfare. While we believe some of the findings presented in the Roadmap to be of merit, we are concerned that it may reflect a shift away from established and proven defence industry actors, which could both reduce European preparedness in the face of ever-growing threats and undermine competitiveness.

ZPP Position – The State of the Energy Union’s Need for Nuclear Considerations

On 6 November 2025, the European Commission published the 2025 edition of its State of the Energy Union Report. While the Report gives an overview of the progress being made in achieving Europe’s energy targets and outlines the next steps needed, the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers (ZPP) finds it sorely lacking in one field: nuclear energy.
