Office workers rate their knowledge of labor law well
15:40
One in five white-collar workers in Poland rates their knowledge of the law as mediocre or just adequate. But at the same time, a sizable group of Polish office workers is declaratively positive about their knowledge of labor law: 41 percent of them believe they know them well, and 31 percent – very well. In total, nearly two-thirds of white collars believe that labor regulations are respected at their place of employment, but at the same time, nearly 20 percent feel that their employer violates their rights, according to a survey by labor portal Rocketjobs.pl.
"Young Poles rate their knowledge of labor rights quite graciously and place themselves in this regard with a >>strong four<<. At the same time, they push the subject away – a common belief is that it should be up to the employer to educate employees about labor law (64 percent), and less often the employee himself (46 percent)," Marta Bierca, Ph.D. in sociology (SWPS), ethnologist and anthropologist co-founder of research agency WiseRabbit and co-author of the survey, commented.
