Poland: Employers call for a more open, welcoming labour immigration policy

Flag of Poland

11 employer organisations in Poland issued a joint appeal to the government, calling for an "open and welcoming approach to legal and sustainable labour immigration". They are arguing for the promotion of immigration from countries other than Ukraine in order to secure more workers.

The employers emphasised that, in the face of historically low unemployment, high workforce participation among Poles, and Poland's worsening demographic situation, the country urgently needs foreign workers to address significant labour shortages. They also highlighted that current migrant workers in Poland are integrating well and are not dependent on the social welfare system.

The appeal was signed by the following employer organisations:

  • Business Centre Club
  • Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs
  • Confederation of Polish Employers Lewiatan
  • Polish National Association of Road Transport Employers
  • Polish Federation of Food Manufacturers Employers' Association
  • Polish Chamber of Waste Management
  • Association of Automotive Parts Distributors and Manufacturers
  • Association of Cement Producers
  • Transport Logistics Poland
  • Association of Entrepreneurs and Employers
  • Association of Polish Crafts
