Stop gambling with our lives! We won’t be a human shield for the Corona crisis!

In response to the crisis brought on by the Corona virus pandemic, the government of Poland adopted a set of emergency measures they call the "anti-crisis shield". Both the amount of money that the “"shield" allocates for relief as well as the remedies it proposes, are either completely insufficient or downright misguided. Many of the "shield’s" measures will lead to lowering wages, weakening unions and making workers even more subordinate to our bosses than we already are. We categorically oppose all wage cuts. Stop gambling with our lives! We won't be a human shield for the Corona crisis!

Statement by National Committee of IP – The Workers’ Initiative Union in response to the Polish government’s emergency measures in light of the Corona crisis.
