Polmos Poznan unions fail to win 5-year work guarantee

Pernod Ricard of France has completed its negotiations with trade unions at Polmos Poznan over the details of a social package for the distillery's workers. This is the final step in Pernod Ricard's acquisition of an 80% stake in Polmos Poznan. According to a Puls Biznesu report, the unions have failed to win the five-year guarantee of employment they were demanding, although Pernod Ricard has promised that there will be no redundancies for three years. The Treasury must now decide on the date for the acquisition to be finalized. (Puls Biznesu, p. 9) A.Z.
