100,000 new jobs for less qualified workers in Poland

The Poland government's deregulation law is expected to create some 100,000 news jobs. Competitive exams will be easier, trainee ships shorter and in some cases educational requirements will be lowered.

Will this help decrease joblessness or lower the level of competence in various fields, or maybe a little of both -- remains to be seen.

From now on , inter alia , be better lawyer , notary , bailiff , detective , bodyguard , a taxi driver and trainer. With the deregulation law has created 100 thousand . jobs - the government argues . This flagship Jaroslaw Gowin idea also has opponents who fear increased competition and a decline in professional competence.

The list published on the website of the Ministry of Justice is a 51 professions whose practice will from now require less paperwork overcome . In some cases it will be easier exams , shorter internships and traineeships , sometimes reduces the threshold of education.

It will help things considerably, especially for those that can't afford to pay for expensive courses to get 'papers'. The situation with tour guides was particularly ridiculous, but not only - looking at that list, there were jobs that required certain qualifications for no reason whatsoever. I will forever praise Gowin's work on deregulation - I'm very, very, very sorry that he allowed himself to get caught up in other issues, because he had his eye firmly on the ball when it came to this subject.

As far as I'm concerned, the less entry requirements, the better - just because someone can't afford to put themselves through higher education doesn't mean that they're stupid or incapable.

Strange as it may seen, I actually agree with your view on deregulation. Although Gowin is also admired for his conservative Catholic, hence genuinely Polish stance on otehr issues and has helped protect Poland from the deviationist threat. My question is: are you that partisan that you must always agree with the PO govt? No criticism ever of the Tusk clique, even of its gaffes and blunders?

Gowin is a strange one by all accounts. I think he's perfect for PO in Krakow - the city is quite conservative/traditional by nature, yet there's a lot of business there - a guy like him should probably do well there. He's made it clear again that he won't join PiS - the best future for him is to become the President of Krakow. I imagine he could work well with PiS on a local level, too.


Absolutely. I criticise them as much as you criticise Kaczynski.

That's where we differ. I praise and criticise strictly on merit, not according to some preconcieved bias. I have said repeatedly said that Kaczynski should be made honorary presdient for life and someone else should be the actual leader. I think it was a mistake for them to ride the Smolensk horse to death. Since I srongly favour a tough line on stadium hooligans, I think it was a mistake to seek the support of footie thugs and lager louts. Gowin is a good choice not only for Kraków, but for Poland. He can protect the country agaisnt trendy experimentation such as test-tube babies and dangerous deviationism. I'm sure he will also crack down on the dope trade. Also he has a far more statesmanlike demeanour than the squat and frumpy Kaczyński.

You, by contrast, apparently like everything about Tusk -- his shifty eyes, countless unkept promises, nepotism, oldboy clique and scam-monger supporters included.

International manufacturers don't see Poland as having a low skilled workforce but rather a better business-friendly environment:

Signor Pedroni really pulled a fast one. I wonder what Polish workers would have done if someone had pulled that on them?

Complained bitterly probably, though I doubt there's much else they could do.

LIke in Italy there would be outrage and it would get a lot of press and political attention. But business is business, the EU is a free market place, and millions of Poles have demonstrated for years now to be very adaptable and willing to take advantage of opportunities wherever they are located. Depending on the age of the workers and their relationship with the employer I can imagine some of the younger ones would quite likely move with company if they were told they could still keep their jobs and the business remained within the EU.

The indefatigable, two-fisted Piotr Duda would have come up with a response. I wonder if Signor Pedrino himself has moved to Poland with his family and belongings?

Which would have involved a lot of posturing and nothing else.

What, exactly, could the workers do? They would only have themselves to blame.

I assume so. The article also mentioned:

Zilch, except for making a lot of noise which might merit a few minute's local tv coverage. People wanted capitalism, now they've got it. A shame, but their story is far from unusual.
