Companies recruiting workers from abroad warn of the consequences of the departure of Ukrainians from Poland and propose solutions that may mitigate the effects of border restrictions (…)
‘We understand the restrictions on the movement of people and they are important for the fight against the coronavirus, but in Poland we have about 1 million Ukrainians who build our economy on a daily basis and most of them are staying in Poland on the basis of declarations of entrusting work to a foreigner, biometric passports and visas. These are temporary documents. Monthly, about 20 percent or even up to 30 percent of these documents expire. So we lose 200 thousand employees from Ukraine on a monthly basis as an economy’, explains Andrzej Korkus, CEO of EWL.
He adds that under normal conditions, newcomers arrive in place of those who have left, but when crossing the border is difficult, it is necessary to keep those Ukrainians who are still in Poland.
‘Especially that employees from Ukraine work in key economic sectors, mainly the agri-food, processing and trade sectors, which are very important during this’, says Korkus.
