Regional Labour Inspectors and Border Guards have discovered a 'labour camp,' in the southern village of Karlowice, where 58 Ukrainian and Thai workers have been working in a flower nursery.

The labourers have been working over 12 hours daily for seven days a week, living in a grain storehouse converted to a bunkhouse, and planting and caring for seedlings and flowers.

Labour inspectors have discovered that the owner of the nursery seized the workers' passports, has stored them in a safe and pays very low wages.

This is one in several such discoveries made by the National Labour Inspectorate in recent months. A similar location was discovered in Szczecin, northern Poland, where workers were paid 100 zloty per month and in Lublin, southern Poland, where a group of Philippine women worked seven days a week for between 450-700 zloty monthly.
