  • On the role of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in ensuring decent work in the world of production offshoring.
    Production offshoring is a popular strategy that allows companies to gain a competitive advantage, in particular by reducing operating costs, especially labor costs. However, its application entails the risk that in the pursuit of economic goals, companies will go a step too far and will be willing to tacitly accept violations of the fundamental rights of people employed by their subcontractors, especially in developing countries where the level of legal protection is still relatively low . One of the most important challenges of the modern world is therefore to ensure decent work for these people. The question posed in this article is how to do this and whether the International Labor Organization will play a leading role in this process - established to promote basic human rights and improve working and living conditions.
  • Scope of exclusion of social security disputes in European civil procedural law.
    European civil procedural law excludes social security from the scope of its application, but does not define this matter. That concept is to be interpreted autonomously, which is intended to ensure the effectiveness of EU law in the field of the coordination of social security systems. In the case law of the CJEU, it is therefore assumed that the substantive content of the term "social security" in European civil procedural law determines the material scope of Regulation (EU) No 883/2004. This means that matters that are not covered by the coordination of social security systems remain outside the scope of the exclusion. With regard to them, the assessment of the application of the rules of European civil procedural law requires the notion of civil and commercial matters to be taken into account. Only taking into account both elements - the concept of "civil and commercial matters" and "social security" allows us to determine the scope of exclusion of disputes concerning social security in European civil procedural law.

  • Topic of the issue: Cooperation of structures of several employers in the field of occupational health and safety
    It is not always possible to achieve the goals set by the employer with the use of directly employed personnel - sometimes it is necessary to cooperate with a larger number of entities whose employees perform work in one place and time. This situation is complex especially in the context of ensuring safe working conditions. It requires the cooperation of individual employers and its structures - the OHS service, persons carrying out the obligation to consult in the field of OHS and the social labor inspectorate.

  • COP-27 and what next?
    Annual conferences of the signatories of the Climate Convention should be conducive to climate protection. However, there have been few decisions so far that, like the Paris Agreement of 2015, contain provisions that bring this protection closer. The conference in 2022 was an opportunity to abandon unrealistic dreams of maintaining the temperature increase by 1.5oC, but it did not bring the mechanism of its maintenance even within 2oC. It provided an opportunity for numerous seminars and propaganda campaigns, but did not result in the adoption of any binding resolution. In particular, it did not introduce any incentives to make the Paris Agreement commitments more ambitious and likely to reverse the climate catastrophe.
  • Odra - only question marks about the sources of the disaster
    Although half a year has passed since the greatest ecological disaster that happened in Poland - the poisoning of the Oder River and the annihilation of biological life in it, so far we do not have a clear position as to what caused it and what effects it actually brought. The report on the Oder commissioned by the government, described by the authors as "preliminary", actually looks like an introduction to the actual document. It gives no answer and leaves even more question marks.
  • 15 million people in Poland may experience water shortages

    Question: As part of the production (fish processing) waste is generated, such as disposable clothing (caps, aprons, sleeves), which we classify under the code 15 02 03. The plant has bins in about 20 locations, from where the waste is later transferred to an external container, in where we store them and transfer them to an external company. Do these 20 bins in production, with a capacity of about 35 l each, have to be marked with a waste code and treated as a waste storage site? Is the waste storage site only the collective container set outside that receives waste from these 20 locations? Bins are emptied 2-3 times a day.

  • Specifics of marine yacht accidents
    The inspiration for writing the following text was an article by Dr. Maciej Kijowski entitled "On the suicides of Polish seafarers on sea ships and their faking in order to cover up the traces of homicides and accidents at work" published in issue 7-8/2022 of Atestu. The article draws attention to the specificity of work on a ship, which, according to Dr. Kijowski results in a significant number of suicides. This specificity consists of isolation (despite being in a group), long periods of lack of personal contact with family, fatigue and working conditions that are different from those on land. The ship, despite modern means of communication, is lonely at sea and dependent on the skills of the captain and crew. The same can be said about a sea yacht. In both cases, it is often impossible to correct the decision made, "drive to the side of the road", remove the fault by roadside assistance, etc. The sea is ruthless and reveals all errors, including seemingly insignificant shortcomings, carelessness and mediocrity.

  • The use of the projective technique method "Chinese portrait" on the example of migration research
    The aim of the text is to convey the experience of qualitative research in the area of migration using the projective technique of the "Chinese portrait" used so far mainly in marketing research and psychology. As part of a scientific project devoted to the perception of Polish and Ukrainian labor markets by Poles and Ukrainians, in order to obtain more detailed opinions of respondents, it was decided to use the "Chinese portrait" projection technique. This brought very interesting results that allowed to verify the information obtained in quantitative and qualitative research conducted using an in-depth interview questionnaire. At the same time, during the implementation of the study, several challenges emerged that required taking into account both the projection technique and data interpretation. The text encourages the use of projective techniques in social research. It also points out the main challenges associated with it and suggests how to deal with them.
  • The sense of workload of social workers during the pandemic
    The time of the pandemic is a difficult time for everyone. This situation is also a significant burden for the staff of social welfare institutions. The fact that the institution was approached by people who had not previously been recipients of benefits, as well as the manifestation of negative behavior by clients, creates unfavorable conditions for effective work. In addition, organizational changes related to partly remote work, reduced effectiveness of aid work, lack of sufficient social support from superiors and co-workers reinforce the feeling of overwhelm and exhaustion. The article is empirical in nature. The aim of the research was to diagnose the sense of workload of social workers during the pandemic. The research was conducted in 2021 on a sample of 129 social workers from all over Poland. The selection of the group for the research was purposeful, and the criterion adopted was employment as a social worker in a social assistance centre. The research method was the diagnostic survey method. The results of the research showed that most social workers worked in hybrid mode during the epidemic. They provided psychological support to those in need, coordinated the delivery of food to people in quarantine, or delivered it personally. An important area of work was the support of the elderly. The research results indicate that the vast majority of social workers feel extremely burdened by the fact that social welfare clients try to manipulate them and that they come to the center under the influence of alcohol or other intoxicants. A very significant burden is the fact that the respondents deal with too many customers. For the vast majority of social workers, it is extremely burdensome to achieve remuneration for work that is disproportionate to the workload.
