Postal strike looms as negotiations break down
Members of the Solidarity trade union of Poczta Polska (PP) have sent a letter to the company’s management board stating plans to commence an open-ended general strike on Monday. During a recent referendum, some 87% of employees supported strike action.
The letter was a result of failed negotiations yesterday. Talks will continue later today, and if a compromise is not reached by the end of the week, the strike will begin. The work force demands an increase in the gross salaries of z³.700 per month as of the beginning of this year. The management of the company on the other hand proposed an increase of z³.280 in the first few months of the year, which will be increased to z³.500 in December.
