Labour Office narrows down list of branches to be closed in 2025

The central Labour Office will narrow down the list of branches it plans to close next year, the Czech Labour Ministry confirmed. Instead of the originally planned 83, it will only close about fifty for the time being. Labour offices in larger towns should remain in operation until post offices can take over some of their responsibilities, such as accepting applications for benefits. The move was made under pressure from the public and regional governments who protested against the fact that people who cannot file applications online would have to travel long distances to do so.
