At least it has gone to court, and she has won at this point. It's not clear to me whether Magda gets paid for the time between her dismissal and her job being reinstated.

I'll continue to boycott Amazon. Earlier in the week I spent about an hour sleuthing the web to find an obscure item that wasn't from Amazon or China, finally found it at a local supplier.

Did you expect this might happen, maybe the baby is due very soon?

It's awful in any case :-(

I discovered recently that some ebay sellers dropship via amazon. Unfortunately I don't think you can tell until you get tracking info, when it's too late to cancel - they are tracked via 'aquiline' which just seem to operate some server api that wraps amazon tracking numbers into ebay tracking numbers, and the delivery is from Amazon. But the actual product page just says 'other 24-hour courier'

You're not the only one. I haven't bought anything from Amazon in the past five years or so.

I can’t speak to this case, but generally low wage workers are paycheck to paycheck and so get jobs while they wait for the system to do their thing. They only get paid for loss of income, so it actually subtracts what they earned in that time and so by working in the meantime the damages paid are much smaller. There are no punitive damages or anything.

Is that for Poland, or somewhere else?

In Britain you're compensated up to £643/week by default (up to your weekly pay amount), plus compensation similar to what you describe.

I don't speak Polish, so I doubt I could find the situation there.

United States, sorry that's what I meant about not speaking to this case. I was very unclear!

My apologies for the confusion.
