Wrocław-based white goods manufacturer Whirpool, formerly Polar, has re-employed 120 of those people it had previously dismissed, unfortunately for the next season only, since summers usually bring about a substantial growth in demand for refrigerators. A further 150 staff are to take up jobs in June. (Rzeczpospolita, p. B5) ... Polkomtel's practice of disconnecting obsolete pre-paid accounts will not be followed by Centertel and PTC. Yesterday, representatives of the latter two claimed they had no such subscribers. (www.onet.pl) ... Poczta Polska has opened a new distribution and haulage center in Warsaw, where 40% of parcels for domestic addressees and 90% to be sent abroad will be serviced.
