Time is running out, the Ministry of Family, Labor, and Social Policy has announced that in December it will present a bill implementing the EU Directive on Platform Work. Those working for the Platforms have been waiting for its implementation for years. Many hope it will improve their dire situation: increase wages and ensure access to employment rights.
At the same time, the Platforms themselves are preparing for an offensive to maintain the status quo: the exploitation of workers by both the Platforms and their Fleet Partners. Of course, they are dressing this up with arguments about “flexibility,” “overregulation,” and “limiting budget revenues.”
And in fact, the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland has joined this group. Ms. Wanda Buk, Social Advisor to the President, said during a recent conference on the implementation of the Directive:
“Poland has a tendency to goldplate, i.e., add excessive, optional regulations when implementing EU law into national law.” It could be particularly dangerous for our labor market.
So, what we’ve written many times will probably be confirmed: even if the Ministry proposes implementing a pro-employee model, there are still the Sejm and its committees, then the Senate, and finally the President.
