Tesla: Poles work in difficult conditions!
Tesla: Poles work in difficult conditions. It is worth taking a closer look at the situation of Poles who work on the construction site. Employed persons work six days a week - from Monday to Saturday. Their work begins in the morning and ends late at night. The living conditions also leave a lot to be desired. All employees live in a small hostel in a nearby village. They commute to work by buses. They share a place in the hostel with 350 other employees. Consequently, the conditions are not appropriate. It turns out, however, that a large proportion of employees enjoy working in this place, because they earn more than in Poland.
“They are tired of long work, but they are satisfied with their salary, although it is much lower than the statutory minimum wage. Maybe also because nobody tells them that they don't have to work that long and that they are entitled to a much higher salary. "- comments ZDF. (source: https://www.o2.pl/).
