Minister of Economy summons management of Amazon
10:51
Following a report by the National Labour Inspectorate (PIP) which revealed that Amazon has been breaching labor laws, the Minister of the Economy, Janusz Piechociński, has delegated deputy minister Ilona Antoniszyn-Klik to straighten out the situation at the Amazon logistics centers.
"Amazon's management will be invited to Warsaw in the coming weeks to discuss work conditions," said Antoniszyn-Klik.
The PIP's audit has found irregularities concerning the calculation of wages. It also revealed that several incidents weren't 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, Amazon has announced that it will raise salaries in the Polish logistics centers as part of the global, annual salary review process.
