Political pressures lead KSC to cut back on sugar mill cut-backs

"The management yielded to pressure from trade unions, but not only that. Pressure from Sejm and Senate deputies was also very strong. The issue of closing down sugar plants has become political," said an anonymous member of KSC's top brass. Another reason cited as lying behind the decision is that there are no new jobs for the work force to go to, as the firm's attempts to find new investors to take over the mills have so far failed to turn up any willing takers.
