InPost Couriers Reject New Rules Over Pay and Car Policy

There has been an increasing tide of discontent among postmen working the InPost round since the firm was moved to new settlement rules. The revised terms, disclosed on May 12, see drivers of combustion engine cars older than eight years hit by further financial penalties. These agents will have their monthly salaries cut by 5 percent. Although InPost has offered a 2% pay rise in compensation, workers are said to be less than impressed by the turn of events.

Couriers argue that these new rules are a disproportionate hit on those without newer or electric vehicles, which is the direction the company is seeking to prioritize. Many drivers have also declined to sign addenda to their contracts, expressing their opposition to the new system.


Both Sides Claim Violations By the Other, and Legal Worries Arise.
In a move of protest, couriers in Radom went on strike on 20 May. However, the company has cited contract clauses that purport to prevent such action. None of the couriers are employed directly by InPost, the workers contacted said. Instead, the company contracts with subcontractors, who in turn supervise their own small crews of 8 to 10 workers. Drivers also allege they were forced to sign blank promissory notes to secure employment, fueling more tensions.

Taking matters into their own hands in the wake of ongoing problems, the couriers have written a letter to Rafał Brzoska, the head of InPost calling for face-to-face negotiations. They feared that changes in structural concessions and cuts in rates would hurt their pockets all the more, especially given the country’s trade in inflation numbers. “We’re grateful for the 2 percent pay increase,” the letter says, “but inflation last year was 3.6 percent, and projections for 2025 are for a 4.9 percent increase, according to the Central Statistical Office.”


Company Response Emphasizes Fleet Upgrades The company's response focuses on fleet modernization.
InPost has defended its move by highlighting its commitment to modernizing its delivery fleet. According to company representative Wojciech Kądziołka, vehicles are very actively exploited and need to be replaced regularly in order to maintain road safety and a high standard of environmental protection. He also added the company works continually with business partners and feels the new pay schedule more accurately reflects the increasing cost of operations while maintaining quality service for clients.
