Solidarity to march on Warsaw over pays?

 "Three weeks ago we appealed to the Government to commence negotiations over pay rises for the state sector as soon as possible. It did not react, so we are preparing to protest," declared the head of Solidarity, Janusz Śniadek. He went on to add that it is still to be decided what form of protest will take, a march on Warsaw, local protests, or protests in particular sectors. Representatives of Solidarity claim that the decision will be made on February 19 during the union's national congress. Following the protest announcement, Labor Minister Jolanta Fedek from the Polish Peasants' Party (PSL), declared that the issue of wage increases will be discussed. "Everyone deserves pay rises, not only the customs officials," said Robert Osmycki, the deputy head of the Secretary of the Public Services which represents fire fighters, heating engineers, local communication employees and tax office workers.
