Miller promises open competition for ZUS head if SLD wins elections

Leader of the Democratic Left Alliance (SLD), Leszek Miller, yesterday announced that after the party wins the forthcoming elections, it will organize open competition for the position of president of Social Insurance Company (ZUS). Miller said that the post of ZUS president should no longer be a political appointment, as it is now with the prime minister installing a candidate proposed by the minister of labor. The SLD leader emphasized that documented qualifications, professional experience and organizational skills would be the sole criteria for selecting the most appropriate person for the position.
