   US jeans maker Levis Strauss & Co. has announced that it will close a   
   clothing factory in the central Polish city of Plock that has operated   
   since the early 1990s, laying off 650 people.   
      
   The company cited problems in hiring qualified staff and rising   
   production costs – driven by high inflation, soaring energy prices, and   
   the weakening of the zloty against the dollar – as reasons for the   
   factory’s planned closure at the end of November this year. Production   
   at the facility is due to stop earlier, in mid-June.   
      
   No it's not.  Levi tried shoving LGBTQIA+ acceptance down Polish throats   
   and it didn't go over so well.   
      
   Tell the truth you lying progressive Disney propping liberal pieces of   
   shit.   
      
   “LS&Co. has long faced an increasingly difficult labour market in Płock   
   – which has posed significant challenges to hiring skilled workers and   
   maintaining full plant capacity – as well as steadily rising production   
   costs,” the company said in a press release quoted by Puls Biznesu, a   
   business daily.   
      
   “Given the rapidly changing operating landscape, with high inflation and   
   ever-increasing energy costs, the company is working across the supply   
   chain to ensure flexibility, manage costs and support long-term   
   strategic goals,” it added.   
      
   The company wrote that, although production at the Płock plant in the   
   financial year ending November 2022 increased by 20% year-on-year in   
   value terms, production costs rose by 25% in the same period.   
      
   This was “mainly due to higher energy and gas costs (up 70%) and the   
   high cost of production materials resulting from the weakening of the   
   zloty against the dollar”.   
      
   Poland has in recent years seen exceptionally high inflation, which   
   peaked at 18.4% in February 2023. Since then, however, it has slowed   
   significantly, reaching 1.9% last month. Poland’s real wages also   
   returned to growth, growing at the fastest pace in 16 years in January.
