#WORKERS

The number of foreign citizens employed in Poland decreased to less than one million by the end of January 2024, as reported by Statistics Poland (GUS).

Polish leading rail freight company PKP Cargo has decided to put 30% of its workers on a 'no work' leave, the company has announced.

In recent years, Poland has witnessed a rise in economic migrants from various countries, yet Ukrainians, predominantly males, continue to represent the largest group among legally employed foreign workers.

The European Parliament will vote on the agreement next month before it becomes law.

According to a report published by the Gremi Personal work agency, a majority of physical workers among migrants who found employment in Poland through the agency are female. The authors of the study attribute this change in gender proportions in the labor market to the war in Ukraine.

December 17 marks the anniversary of the so-called “Black Thursday”, the bloodiest episode of the workers’ protests on the Polish coast in 1970, when the Polish communist authorities opened fire to the demonstrators opposing soaring prices of food.
