> cheap labor with minimal labor protection law
I'm confused by your statement. That cheap labor you're referring to is cheap while it's in Poland, but being in Germany, you're now under German contractual union agreements regardless of your nationality, so labor no longer cheap and you're also under German labor law, not Polish. So what gives? Or do you thing German worker's rights don't apply to workers from Poland?
- hnbad 5y agoThey don't if you outsource the labor to a Polish staffing company and feign ignorance about their handling of labor issues. This is how most large industry companies handle cheap foreign labor in the country. Employing most of your industrial work force directly is so pre-Agenda-2010. This practice actually became somewhat infamous during the pandemic when an outbreak in a meat factory shined light on Eastern European workers' working and living conditions. The company went on to hire thousands of workers directly in an attempt to salvage some of its reputation but previously had outsourced the work to a network of such staffing companies it claimed to have no insight into while actually having funded (and likely owned) several of them.
