Marshal Tomasz Grodzki said that a “real wage reform” is being created in the Senate, which is to be modeled on the solutions of the Second Polish Republic. – Poland should be a country of average, not low wages, but you have to start with the citizens – he said, referring to the increases for politicians, which were introduced by the presidential ordinance.
President Andrzej Duda signed the introductory ordinance on Friday raises for deputy ministers. The new regulations also benefited the deputies and senators, whose salaries depend on the amount of the deputy ministers’ earnings. There is also a project in the Sejm regarding pay rises for, among others, the president, former presidents and local government officials.
The Civic Platform has submitted a bill that it has block the possibility of awarding pay raises politicians until the end of the current parliamentary term.
We want to prepare a system somewhat modeled on the Second Polish Republic, where it was much clearer, more transparent and understandable. Everyone knew from the beginning of their career that when they went to become a worker, they would earn as much as possible for a train driver, as much for a colonel, and as much for a teacher. Everyone could plan their future. This is the task we set ourselves
Grodzki: The Senate wants to prepare a “real reform” of wages
– The Civic Platform Club made the decision unanimously. We already said a year ago that we believe that Poland should be a country of average wages, not low wages, but nevertheless we need to start with the citizens – said Tomasz Grodzki, Senate Marshal on Tuesday.
The Marshal recalled that “a year ago he promised that a comprehensive wage pyramid project in the Republic of Poland would be created in the Senate”. – We currently have four studies by the Analysis and Documentation Office. I will appoint a senatorial and expert team. We want to prepare a real wage reform – announced Grodzki.
He noted that “he does not only talk about politicians, but about local government officials, but about the budget sector”. – We want to prepare a system a little bit modeled on the Second Polish Republic, where it was much clearer, more transparent and understandable. Everyone knew from the beginning of their career that when they went to become a worker, they would earn as much as possible for a train driver, as much for a colonel, and as much for a teacher. Everyone could plan their future. We set ourselves the task – said the marshal.
