A collective dispute could lead to a strike by the employees. A dispute is a conflict that most often arises when one side feels undervalued and its problems are not taken seriously by the other side.
The employees’ demands mainly concern higher wages and improved working conditions. At present, the employees are awaiting the setting of a date for talks and negotiations with the employer.
Our source says that for now this is only a collective dispute and talks will begin. If the two sides fail to resolve the dispute through talks and mediation, the next step could be a strike.
The employees entered into a dispute with the employer in 2021. The dispute ended in a settlement at that time. However, according to the source, the employees did not feel any improvement.
“Things are not getting any better,” the source says. “Several directors at one plant, and increasingly greater chaos. They believe that Poles are cheap labour and that there is no need to take employees into account,” he adds.
