Trade unions threaten government over PGNiG shares

The company debuted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) over six months ago and currently the value of the stake which should be earmarked for the employees far exceeds zł.2.5 billion. "Either the government lacks social communication skills or is heading towards an open confrontation with the trade unions. If it is the first case then we propose sending the subordinates on training, if it is the latter then we will undertake in the close future, maybe during the election campaign, the necessary protest measures," reads a letter signed by the trade unions which was sent to the Treasury Minister. The politicians must remember that the case concerns 61,165 potential voters and their families. Besides the issue of the shares the employees are also demanding further privatization of the gas giant. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 4) A.K.
