Minister of Economy summits management of Amazon
10:15
Following a report by the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) which revealed that Amazon has been breaching labor law, Minister of the Economy Janusz Piechociński has delegated deputy minister Ilona Antoniszyn-Klik to straighten out the situation in the Amazon logistics centers.
"Amazon's management will be invited to Warsaw in the coming weeks to discuss the work conditions," said Antoniszy-Klik.
The PIP's audit has found irregularities concerning the calculation of wages. It has also revealed that several events have not been recognized as accidents at work, although they fulfilled all the conditions to be deemed as such.
"All the recommendations and indications that we have received, have been either met, or - if they require time - are being currently settled," said a spokeswoman for Amazon.
Regardless of that, Amazon has announced that it will raise salaries in the Polish logistics centers as part of the global, annual salary review process.
