The Rada Zakladowa (Plant Council) at the factory was made up of a chairman, vice-
chairman, secretary, treasurer, and 4 members. The chairman, vice-chairman, secretary,
and the treasurer were paid members, but did not do any physical labor. Their wages were,
more or less, the same as the wages of a worker, depending, however, upon the degree of
their activities. Under the jurisdiction of the Plant Council were the Rady
Oddzialowe (Division Councils), which were organized in each factory division.
The worst people in the shop were the ORMO'ers (members of the Ochotnicza Rezerwa
Milicji Obywatelskiej, Volunteer Reserve of the Citizenst Militia). The duty of the
ORMOTers--an OR140Ter is placed in each brigade-- was to spy upon and to report ev.:ry
sign of workers' dissatisfaction and tardiness. ORMO'ers did not have to meet any norms,
or arrive punctually at work. They received the same wages as other workers. Roland

they are accepted, are employed here. Special guards are posted in this area.
