Ozarow factory to produce cables again

Today will mark the end of a 10-month-long protest and blockade of the Ozarow cable plant. Former workers will very soon start working again in the empty premises rented from Tele-Fonika Kable. The representatives of the Industrial Development Agency (ARP), Tele-Fonika Kable (TFK) and the p rotesting ex-employees signed an agreement ending the protest. According to the settlement, Nowa Fabryka Kabli (NFK) formed by ex TFK workers rented a 6,000 square meters in which it will start operating and pay a rent of zl. 42,000. "We were faced with either insisting on the sale of the plant, which would have meant the blockade would have continued, or renting its working premises," said TFK spokesman Jerzy Jurczynski. The representatives of NFK have 45 days to present the ARP with its operation plans. (Puls Biznesu, p. 6) A.C.
