Tesco denies exploiting Polish workers at distribution centre
Complaints by Polish workers about pay and conditions at Tesco in Ireland has received widespread media coverage in Poland in the past week.
Two Polish workers claimed they were recently sacked from Tesco’s main distribution centre at Greenhills Road, Tallaght, after they protested about demands from management to increase productivity in its packing section. “Usually we pick 750 boxes per hour but after three months of the normal rate, our manager wants more, more, more,” said one of the former Tesco workers.
