TP in negotiation quagmire with Porozumienie Union

TP proposed that within these three years 5,700 people left their jobs as part of the voluntary leave program. "The exact plans of employment will be dependent on the needs and interest of the employees in the offer, but mostly the interest of our customers in the increasing number of services offered by TP," said TP board member, Jacek Kallaur. People who have been working for TP for the past 20 years can receive 21-24 monthly wages, that is up to zl.50,000. "Such a sum is not stunning as TP is a rich company," said Slawomir Basinski, from the Porozumienie Union. "We have quite a lot of reservations towards the agreement." The Porozumienie Union, like Solidarity, does not agree with the terms of the new social agreement, however, TP's management still hopes to close negotiations this week. (Puls Biznesu, p. 11) A.K.
