A trade union focus on the SDGs – Poland
With over 10 per cent of those in employment classified as working poor, Polish trade unions highlight that more needs to be done on wage-setting policies to progress towards the SDGs. Other obstacles hindering the country from advancing include state fiscal policies, and public services policies. Poland does not spend enough on social policy as a proportion of GDP. As such, trade unions are calling for increased expenditure, including raising the amount of social benefits and broadening the group of people entitled to them.
