In December 2019, UNI Global Union reported that Castorama Poland (owned by Kingfisher) dismissed 10 trade union activists and accused the company of "union-busting activities". As reported further by UNI Global Union, UNI Commerce has taken legal action and will launch a campaign for re-instatement of the dismissed workers and respect for trade unions.

Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Kingfisher to respond to the concerns raised. They sent us a statement from Castorama Poland, available below.
