Grabarek no longer just acting president of LOT

Marek Grabarek, who was the acting president of national carrier LOT for the last few months, will continue to fulfill this role, but now as the real company president. The supervisory board decided on Friday that he would be the best of the five shortlisted candidates for the post. In total 23 people applied for the job. Marek Grabarek was delegated from the supervisory board to run the airline after its former president Jan Litwiński resigned. According to Parkiet the second most probable candidate for the post was Jarosław Roszkowski, a former director of the company. He was on the "reserve" list in case unions blocked Grabarek's nomination. They originally opposed him due to his controversial decisions, like changing the company's employees insurance policy and awarding the management with bonuses. However, Parkiet learned that two out of four unions' representatives voted in favor of Grabarek. (Parkiet, June 14-16, p. 5) M.M.
