(en) Poland, ZSP* supports LOT staff... but not selling out workers

Date Tue, 29 Sep 2009 15:13:40 +0200



Members of ZSP support the workers of PLL LOT Polish airlines in their struggle to
maintain jobs and working conditions. Management of LOT for years tries to bring airline
to ruin so that it will be privatized for very small money. In this trick suffer the
workers who hear that their company should go bankrupt. Union leaders who try to fight
this were sacked against the law. LOT doesn't care that it breaks this law. ---- ZSP sent
protest about sacking union leaders. However soon it turned out that next union leaders
want to negotiate the salary cuts of 30% for workers. They say it saves some jobs. Still
LOT wants to sack hundreds. The unions now go on their knees - "sack less but cut the
salaries". ---- ZSP members know about this strategy of union but not sure the workers
know about it too.

28 September (today) LOT workers were supposed to have protest in front of Ministry of
State Treasury. ZSP went. But there were almost no workers from LOT today. Instead
anarchosyndicalists found the "demonstration extras" holding banner - but not the workers
of LOT. They found the professional union leaders and former union leaders of LOT. And
more than 200 unionists, mostly leaders or fired unionists from trains! They support the
workers in transport industry.

ZSP asked "where are the workers"? Bureaucrat from OPZZ told that they should be working,
not protesting. There were many interesting comments made to comrade by union bureaucrats
and there was sharp discussion.

ZSP believes that in this case, unions will make some deal and fuck part of workers. They
propose to workers of LOT to protest themselves and self organize struggle without
bureaucrats.
