Negotiations between KGHM and union end in failure

KGHM would have to assign zl.90 million for the payouts. According to vice-president Maksymilian Bylicki a quarterly bonus violates the collective labour agreement signed last year. Under the agreement, the employees may only apply for such a payment after H1. However, the management promised to continue the negotiations concerning this issue in June. Other demands of the workers include assigning zl.100 million from the firm's profit in 2005 for a workers credit fund as well as debt removal and financial support for some of KGHM's affiliated companies.
