An MP tried to cover a plaque which commemorates the liberation of the city by the Red Army. The new "plaque" is to commemorate an underground soldier killed by the communist police. The MP`s action was prevented by the capitalist police.   |

Wow, I have never seen such a protest before. Polish customs officers stage protest
08.06.2016 15:44
Polish customs officers on Wednesday staged a protest outside the parliament buildings in Warsaw against government reorganization plans.
Finance Minister Paweł Szałamacha recently said that as of 1 January, customs services and tax offices are to be merged into a new National Treasury Administration.
The head of the Celnicy PL customs’ officers union, Sławomir Siwy, told reporters the plans were “harmful to the public interest.”
He argued that in Poland, customs officers bring in one third of the revenues flowing into state coffers.
Siwy added: “Custom services should remain a separate unit. This is the goose that lays the golden egg, and it should be strengthened.”                    After a feeble effect of demonstrations, officers resorted to going on sick leaves or to Italian strike - Another unconventional tactic is work-to-rule (also known as an Italian strike, in Italian: Sciopero bianco), in which workers perform their tasks exactly as they are required to but no better. For example, workers might follow all safety regulations in such a way that it impedes their productivity or they might refuse to work overtime. Such strikes may in some cases be a form of "partial strike" or "slowdown".The line of vehicles on the Eastern border is increasing every day.    |

Reasons for mass protest are endless.  Protests in Polish capital against TTIP and CETA deals 15.10.2016 15:20 Protesters met in Warsaw in front of the Agricultural Ministry in Warsaw on Saturday to voice their disapproval of the TTIP and CETA deals. "The TTIP and CETA situation is changing almost daily. One thing is clear, however. Contrary to earlier declarations that it will defend Polish agriculture and food, [the governing Law and Justice party] has announced full support for the adoption of CETA,” the organisers of the protest said on social media. Governing officials say that the issue has not yet been decided upon. In terms of CETA, “the most important issue is to discuss the facts, not the myths”, said presidential aide Krzysztof Szczerski. He added that in order to fully enter into force, CETA requires to be ratified by all EU countries. “Poland has not lost the possibility to reflect on this issue,” he said. The Commission on International Trade of the European Parliament (INTA) this week endorsed CETA, the new EU-Canada free trade agreement. CETA, similarly to the TTIP deal being negotiated with the United States, has evoked considerable controversy and differences of opinion in various economic circles. Generally, the government in Warsaw sees CETA as beneficial for Poland but has concerns regarding so-called investment arbitration.    WARSAW, Poland Hundreds of people protested Saturday in Warsaw against free-trade agreements that the European Union is pursuing with the U.S. and Canada, saying they will hurt Polish farmers and consumers. The rally was organized by a non-governmental group, Akcja Democracja, with trade unions and several small opposition parties. The Polish protesters argue that the free trade deals — called TTIP and CETA — will allow an influx of food from North America that will destroy local farming, and also hurt consumers by allowing in foods that are genetically modified. Rallying in front of the Agriculture Ministry ahead of a march to the prime minister's office, they urged the Polish government to reject the deals. The EU trade ministers are scheduled to vote Tuesday on whether to approve CETA. If they unanimously approve it, the deal could be signed with Canada on Oct. 27. Environmental activists and trade unions across Europe have expressed fears that the deals could worsen local standards for food, work and industry. On Friday, the Belgian region of Wallonia rejected the CETA deal. All EU nations need to back it, and under Belgium's constitutional rules, one region can effectively veto such a deal for the whole country. The EU says the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement deal with Canada will improve trade, create jobs and remove almost all tariffs and custom duties while at the same time guaranteeing European standards on anything from food and health quality to labor rights. For many, the CETA is only a prelude to TTIP, an even bigger deal that is being negotiated with the United States and which has given rise to massive protests already in several EU nations.

Opinions are mixed. Adversaries claim that these schools are full of violence and chaos, students do what they want and teachers are helpless. So they want to put those students in with elementary students?? That doesn't make sense...bad idea. Junior high education is valuable. Kids of that age are going through intense growth and changes. If the teachers can't handle them, they need some training and to be given some strategies that work with that age group. Lumping them in with kids older or younger who have different needs is just crazy. I'm not sure about that. They will still have the same number of students to educate and unless authorities want the classrooms to be ridiculously over-populated, they are going to need most of the teachers they have now... |

But that`s how it worked in communist times for 40 years and it was OK. All today`s PiS lawmakers were brought in that system and they believe it proved useful and made good patriotic citizens out of them. There is a surplus of teachers now due to demographic decline but unions are strong and the gov is afraid of an open conflict, so they are trying to introduce lay offs through the back door. |
