PGNiG announces collective agreement

Polish Petroleum and Gas Mining (PGNiG) have agreed to end the collective bargaining stage with labor unions, reported ISBnews. The unions' main points of contention since July had been an annual salary increase of 5.59 percent and an increase in workers' vouchers up to PLN 2000. The news did not specify whether these criteria have been met by the company. PGNiG is a giant on the Polish market in the exploration, storage and distribution of natural gas and petroleum.
