Minister of Labor asks to investigate working condition in Amazon logistic centers

The Minister of Labor Elżbieta Rafalska asked the Chief Labor Inspector to inspect the Amazon logistics centers operating in Poland. The ministry explained that the request is a reaction to the “disturbing” information appearing in the media regarding the situation of employees working in Amazon's logistic centers. The ministry wants to check whether “labor law provisions and health and safety at work rules and regulations,” are being followed in the centers. “In connection with media information regarding the situation of employees employed in Amazon logistic centers located in Poland, which indicate non-compliance with labor law and health and safety at work rules and regulations. I am asking for control measures to be taken at Amazon's logistic centers operating in Poland,” the minister said. Last week, employees in several European countries, including Poland went on strike demanding better working conditions.
