Two sugar mills get stay of execution after Senate debate

The decision came after a heated debate on Tuesday among the Senate's Agriculture Committee over Polish Sugar's proposed restructuring plan, with senators demanding that the Sokołów and Żnin plants should continue to operate for at least another year. "We need to take another close look at what the company can do for those plants and their workers," said Józef Woźniakowski, deputy Treasury Minister. "We want to work!" affirmed the workers, who even embarked on a hunger strike at the threatened Żnin plant to highlight their case. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) D.W.
