Polish Bus Drivers Stage One Hour Warning Strike in Radom
Radom drivers halted about 130 buses for an hour in a protest as Solidarity leaders pressed for control of television coverage for the union congress next month. About 10 drivers continued routes while most wore red and white armbands and Polish flags. The union seeks 15 to 20 minute daily TV reports with its own reporters and aims to press for mass media access as talks with the government are set to resume. The congress is scheduled for September with debates likely heated and not aired live. The union says media access is needed to counter government comments and press coverage.
