On Oct. 14, a delegation from various unions went to the Krogal factory in Glucholazy to talk to the owner about reinstating two repressed workers. ZSP also signed onto this action, along with unions from Electropower plants in Belchatow and Opole, from Opel factory in Opole, the Furniture Workers' Union and Workers' Accord. The unions call on the factory to undo their actions against the workers or we will take further actions against the company.

The situation started with a newspaper article. Journalists from the Nowa Trybuna Opolska paper decided to do a story on how people live on the minimum wage. They interviewed different workers anonymously, not giving their names or even the names of the company. But one boss recognized that it was about their factory: the Krogal factory in Glucholazy (owned by Drobmar). The next day, they went on a witch hunt to find the workers who gave the interview. The workers were identified about things they said about their life: a husband who had a heart attack, an ill daughter... After identification, the workers, who never even said anything bad about their workplaces, were fired.

Following news of this repression, various people began publicizing the case. The idea to do something was pushed by activists who themselves have been subject to repression and fired.

People in the factory, who have ways of exploiting mass fear and the anti-solidary pathology that accompanies it, have been trying to spread rumors that, because of this incident, the boss might close down the factory. Some workers who fear for their own survival have dismiss the repression and are used by the firm against the arguments of the unionists, however everybody recognizes how this works in similar situations and that the need to promote workers' solidarity in the face of such awful realities is greater than ever.
