Polish Employment Relations Under the Challenge of French Foreign Direct Investment

Anna Kwiatkiewicz

Chapter 10 in Globalizing Employment Relations, 2011, pp 165-178 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract For a long time Poland was the foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow leader in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Foreign investors were attracted by the size of Polish market, low wages and skilled workers, the perspective of strong economic growth, labour force qualifications and supply, potential to reduce production costs, stable legal environment, low taxes and EU membership. This chapter considers how Polish employment relations were shaped by this FDI and, with France being the largest source of FDI, by the presence of French-origin MNCs.
