Working conditions of Britain’s ‘blue’ post-Brexit passports manufacturers in Poland to be investigated

The Polish factory that produces Britain’s blue post-Brexit passports is facing an investigation by the country’s largest trade union after The Mail on Sunday revealed staff feel underpaid and poorly treated, according to The Daily Mail. 

Workers at the factory in the town of Tczew in northern Poland earn as little as £400 a month – almost half the average wage in the area – our investigation last month found.

Workers said they were quitting to earn more money as fishmongers or waitresses, while one complained that working conditions were so poor that the factory could ‘feel like a prison’. Now, the leading Polish workers’ union, Solidarnosc, is to launch an investigation at the factory, which is owned by the French multinational company Thales.

Union chief Krzysztof Dosla said: ‘We have a branch in Tczew and I will ask colleagues to look into this problem. Our organisation is not directly in this plant, but if something bad is happening in it, we will quickly find out. We will definitely investigate this case.
