Pyszne.pl will lay off 5,000 people
Poland’s labor inspectorate is auditing food delivery platform Pyszne.pl as the company prepares to end contracts with 5,000 couriers. The OPZZ labor union claims the move is intended to avoid new rules allowing inspectors to convert civil-law contracts into employment agreements. Pyszne.pl denies any connection, saying the shift to five fleet partners was planned earlier for business reasons. Under the new model, couriers would lose hourly pay and be compensated only for completed deliveries, while also paying administrative fees to fleet operators. Unions warn this could sharply reduce earnings and weaken worker protections.
The company argues outsourcing will improve flexibility, expand coverage, protect restaurant partners, and support long-term growth amid intense competition.
