Unions at LOT to go on warning strike

A two-hour warning strike by LOT employees is scheduled for December 14 between 6:30 and 8:30 AM, due to the failure to agree on the fulfillment of an initial deal between unions and the board reached on November 18. "For the last three weeks we have been receiving legal documents that limited, to a great extent, the legal way in which the employees could claim compensation before the courts. It was very unfavorable for them and none of the unions have agreed to sign it," said Grzegorz Włodek, head of one of the unions. Włodek assured that he is still open to negotiations. In November, the unions and the board agreed that PLN 12 million will be earmarked for salary raises for all employees.
