Poland is arguing over a new minimum wage. The price of the question?

Polish authorities continue to negotiate with trade unions and patronages on a new minimum wage. The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Protection has submitted a report according to which the minimum will be 4,927 zloty (1,161 euros) from the beginning of 2027. This is significantly higher than the previously discussed amount. And it is important, as the “minimum wage” affects social benefits.
