Employees to re-open new Tele-Fonika cable factory?

Representatives of the former employees of the bankrupt Ozarow cable plant have set up a company called Nowa Fabryka Kabli Ozarow with intentions to take over the closed plant from its current owner, Tele-Fonika. An agreement was signed last week to look at possibilities for the plant. "We have formed a limited liability company and its five shareholders are mainly private entities. The gmina has also promised to have a stake in it too," said Slawomir Gzik, the chief of the workers protest committee. When asked what the company will specialize in he answered, "We have a plan. We will employ around 200 people." Most probably it will produce cables. However the main problem could be Tele-Fonika, which does not want to see another competitor on the market and can reject the proposal. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B4) A.K.
