Striking worker face prosecution as city transport halts

The workers are afraid of losing their jobs or having their wages cut after the planned privatization. Meanwhile, it was revealed that the company taking over MPK Kielce has signed a contract according to which it will not fire any of the employees for the next five years and plans to introduce higher wages. It is suspected that the head of the trade unions did not tell the whole truth to the employees as most of them never heard of the planned guarantees. For two weeks none of the 140 buses went out on the roads, which has caused chaos and crowds on the streets of the city. The prosecutor will check whether the protest is being carried out legally.
