Since January 2008, workers of the Polish post have been negotiating wages increases for this year for all the workers of Polish Post. The workers of Polish Post affiliated to the “Solidarność” Trade Union have been on a long-term strike from 3^rd June in protest against lack of progress in the negotiations.



The proposals offered by the company to the workers are extremely unsatisfactory. Moreover, if the union accepted the proposals the employees would be receiving low pay that does not meet their basic needs and expectations.



Now the unions legitimate protest action is considered by the employer as illegal although they passed the steps of the legal procedure concerning the possibility to organize the strike action. “Now our members are constantly exposed to different forms of violation of their rights. There are often cases of intimidation and persecutions and our members are threatened to lose their jobs. We are extremely concerned about this situation and we consider the attitude of our employer as an unprecedented attack against our union” Says Bogumil Nowicki, President “Solidarność” Trade Union for Polish Post Workers
