Solidarity union wants to open up offices publicizing job opportunities in the EU

The Solidarity trade union wants to establish special offices in its regional branches which would inform Poles who want to work in other EU countries about the specificity of the labor markets in the various member states. "Both the unemployed and employed who intend to migrate to the European Union should know where to ask for help when their rights are broken or where to learn where to find jobs," explained Andrzej Adamczyk from the foreign affairs department of Solidarity. Solidarity also wants to sign agreements with trade unions in EU countries. "We are in intensive talks with, among others, the representatives of Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain," said Adamczyk, "The agreements will concern specific problems and will be based on reciprocity, so for example Solidarity will protect the French working in Poland while the French unions will protect Poles working in France," he added.
