LOT staff call off strike

A two-hour warning strike by LOT employees scheduled for Thursday between 6:30 and 8:30 am will not happen, as the trade union has reached an agreement with the board of managers, the media reported. "The budget has been expanded. The negotiations will continue, but they will concern only the share of the amount. We asked for additional PLN 2 million. The money was put on the table for all the trade unions. Taking into account the best interests of the company we cancelled the strike," said said Grzegorz Włodek, the chairperson of the Union of Cabin Crew and Aviation. Marcin Celejewski, acting head of LOT, said that the strike would have caused several million złotys in damages, further deteriorating the financial situation of the company.
