LOT's staff will strike on Thursday

Employees of LOT, the national air carrier, will go on a two-hour warning strike on Thursday between 6:30 and 8:30 am. The union is demanding salary increases and the restoration of the salary indexation scheme from 2010. The industrial action will cause delays. “We tried to make distruption for businesspeople as slight as possible, and the least burdensome for passengers,” said Grzegorz Włodek, the chairperson of the Union of Cabin Crew and Aviation. Marcin Celejewski, acting head of LOT, said that the strike will cause several million złotys in damages, further deteriorating the financial situation of the company.
