Trade unionists: 3200-3300 PLN gross minimum wage could be a compromise

Trade Union Alternative is critical of the decision to raise the minimum wage for next year to PLN 3,000 gross. According to the organization, the reality is a year late compared to the government’s promises.
According to the Trade Union Alternative website, “We would like to remind you that in the election campaign before the last parliamentary elections, PiS declared that the minimum wage would reach PLN 3,000 gross as early as 2021, and in 2023 it would be PLN 4,000”.
The unionists are of the opinion that over the last months no actions have been taken to improve the situation of employees, especially those with low incomes. The union is also critical of the New Deal and the proposal to freeze wages in budget workers, which, in view of inflation, means a decrease in salaries.
“The government should also implement such solutions so that the wages of the lowest-income workers increase. Since less than two years ago President Kaczyński promised that the minimum wage in 2022 would be between PLN 3,000 and PLN 4,000, the amount of PLN 3,000-2,300 seems to be a compromise anyway,” the website also states.
