(FOR KEY SEE REVERSE)
1. The III Trade Union Congress (Zwiazkow Zawodowych) decided on the establishment
of arbitration commissions (komisje rozjemcze), the task of which is to arbitrate
in disputes between workers and managements of industrial establishments.
2. The commissions are composed of representatives of workers and managers. The
delegates are, in principle, members of the PZPR (Polish United Workers' Party),
which, in fact, means that the disputes upon which they are to pronounce judgement
are never judged impartially and objectively.
3. The worker has the right to appeal against the original decision to the district
arbitration commission (okregowa komisja rozjemcza) under the district trade union
council. Next, the appeal may be passed to the arbitration commission attached
to the Central Trade Union Council (Centrala Radd Zwiazkow Zawodowych - CRZZ).
1+. It is~only^after he has unsuccessfully appealed to these bodf+'s that the worker
has the right to submit his complaint before a court of law.
5. In the opinion of workers, the new regulation constitutes yet another means of
terrorizing and exploiting the working classes, as the majority of the worker
plaintiffs have not sufficient patience and obstinacy to pass their claims by the
lengthy procedure outlined above. They abandon them halfway, which is just Vhat
the Communist regime desires.
