He justified the decision on personal grounds. He held this position in the company from January 2026, previously – from September 2025 – he was responsible for the area of organization and operational management.
This is yet another departure from the company's management recently. In February, Piotr Ścigała also left the management board, also citing personal reasons.
Collective dispute and threat of strike at Dino
Personnel changes coincide with the growing conflict between the management and employees. There is an ongoing collective dispute in the company led by the trade union OPZZ Konfederacja Pracy. The main demands include salary increases of PLN 900, creation of a Company Social Benefits Fund and increased employment.
The management board did not accept these demands, which led to the situation escalating. The trade unions announced a warning strike for April 25, 2026, which will consist in suspending work from 12.00 to 14.00.
“This is no way to conduct dialogue with employees! The warning strike will take place on April 25, 2026. (…) If this does not help, there may be a general strike in the future and complete paralysis of stores“- announced the Confederation of Labor.

Trade unionists criticize the way the talks were conducted by the company's management, accusing the lack of participation of decision-making representatives in mediations. “The management board (…) does not come to mediation (…) and the main role is played by the law firm, which escalates the conflict,” the release said.
The next mediation meeting is scheduled for April 27 at the “Dialog” Center for Social Dialogue in Warsaw. Employee representatives expect that this time the talks will include people who have real influence on decisions.
Working conditions under the microscope
The conflict also concerns working conditions. According to trade unionists, in winter, store employees had to perform their duties in very low temperatures. After reporting the matter to the National Labor Inspectorate, inspections began, which – as they say – led to the issuance of over 1,000 decisions.
The dismissal of one of the employees who previously reported violations of occupational health and safety regulations is also controversial. The case gained publicity after the intervention of Adrian Zandberg.
Strong financial results despite tensions
Despite internal problems, the company maintains a good financial situation. In 2025, the group's revenues amounted to PLN 33.6 billion and net profit reached PLN 1.55 billion. At the end of March 2026, the chain had 3,094 stores.
Tomasz Biernacki remains the majority shareholder and controls over half of the company's shares.
The coming days may prove crucial for the further development of the situation – both in the context of the labor conflict and the stability of the management board of one of the largest retail chains in Poland.
