Elektrim sued over failure to buy employees shares
If other employees follow this example the company might be forced to pay out as much as zł.150 million plus interest. "We have 14 days to appeal against the verdict, and we definitely intend to do so," said Ewa Bojar, Elektrim's spokeswoman. The case was won by Piotr Rybiński, the leader of the Solidarity trade union in ZE PAK. "We have been waiting for the money for the shares for two years. We did not even demand interest. Elektrim did not want to talk to us, furthermore it lowered the price for the purchase of the shares. Following the court's decision, most of the 4,000 employees who did not sell their stakes, will demand payment," said Rybiński. (Parkiet, p. 1) A.K.
