This enterprise is called a combine because in addition to the main

Luch and about 200 meters east of the city market.
About 70 x 70 meters.
Number of Workers Employed

Work Shifts
There are two 8-hour work shifts, which officially run from 0700 to
1500 and from 1500 to 2300 hours, respectively, but in practice run 11 to
12 hours each. The extra hours are not paid for but, as the plant director
stated, constitutes collaboration in the government's efforts to "aid
needy countries."
The combine operates on a peace-work basis.

lowing products: sausage, salami, ham, bacon, and "piroshki."
