Sounds like the employees should go to court, then.


It sounds like the employees are foreigners who are probably unfamiliar with the polish legal system, with no income or health insurance as more pressing issues.

I would be a little surprised if this was true. One of the big reasons for Western European companies to hire in Poland is because Eastern European countries are very cheap.

For most Western European companies, Polish people _are_ the foreigners (along with all the unfair preconceptions and prejudices that comes with that).


Did you read the article? It specifically mentions that the Polish office has workers from India, Chile and Italy


Just like many Polish people work in say England or Sweden, Ukrainians work in Poland. Exactly the same dynamic.


Actually, it is exceptionally easy as a foreigner to find a job in Poland and there’s a very big demand for them. Many multinationals move their seats to Poland for this. As a foreigner, you generally get higher than the Polish average salaries but still lower than in other countries.
