The aim of this paper is to analyse the restructuring of ALSTOM Konstal SA in Chorzów in the period 1997–2003. The reasons for this change fall into two main categories. Firstly, GEC ALSTOM Concern, which specializes in infrastructure of power generation and power service (60% of production), rail transport (28% of production), industry and naval constructions (6% of production), purchased Konstal SA in 1997.These days ALSTOM Konstal SA is one of the best European producers of constructed carriages for trams, rail transit systems, fully automatic systems and metro systems. These products are produced mainly for three big cities in Poland: Katowice, Gdansk and Warsaw, and for the EU countries. Secondly, the modernization brought new technology and staff training. To this aim, in the period 1997–2003 GEC ALSTOM invested 28 million € in Konstal SA, for renovation and modernization, new technology purchase, new hall and production line building and people capital. These restructuring processes and previous production experience allowed the company to become successful in designing and producing rail transport.

This paper aims to compare and contrast the discursive representations of migrants in the context of the ongoing migration crisis on the Polish-Belarusian border and the surge of Ukrainian refugees into Poland post-February 2022. The author chose 60 articles from the official TVP Info website using the keywords refugee, migrate, immigrants, etc. Informed by Critical Discourse Analysis, the research drew on social actor theory (van Leeuwen 2009), as well as Systemic Functional Analysis (Halliday and Matthiessen 2014). The results reveal that there are significant differences in the depiction of Ukrainian refugees versus migrants encamped on the Polish-Belarusian border. The Ukrainians were portrayed as individuals with distinct and poignant narratives, whereas for the description of migrants from the border, abstract nouns were used, presenting them as a homogeneous and threatening collective. Agentivity patterns also proved to vary depending both on the context and the time of publication of the article. The earlier articles presented the migrant as a passive patient of other agent’s actions, while the more recent ones displayed some instances of their agency. The paper may serve as a springboard for further studies on the issue of migration in Polish media discourse.
