Polish workers prepare for strike
WARSAW 28 November – Polish shipyard workers are preparing for strike action at state-owned or controlled yards in an effort to push the government to keep its promises over privatisation. Workers have called for a meeting with the prime minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski who, they claim, has failed to implement the government’s own shipyard restructure plan that was a flagship policy. Unions claim the shipyards are lacking direction and will suffer if no action is taken soon. “No real advancement” has been seen and “no actual privatisation talks” are being held, they say, adding that the industrial development agency ARP is failing to fulfil its obligations to the yards. However, observers in Poland allege that the unions themselves have not helped the process, blocking a bid for Gdansk shipyard from Aker several months ago.
