People at work

Following the 2023 parliamentary elections, one of the most significant and publicly visible government policy shifts has been signaled by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy. The ministry, headed by Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk from the New Left party, is debating pro-labor reforms that may deliver shockwaves to the market. One calls for shortening the workweek to 4 days and cutting the standard shift time. Some of these ideas are in line with the EU’s views on labor and employment, and set the tone for increasing the protection of workers recently expressed in such EU legislative measures as the Work-Life Balance Directive, the Whistleblower Directive, the Platform Directive, to name a few. – Marcin Sanetra comments for AmCham.Pl QUARTERLY.
