Polish customs officials are still on strike, BelTA learnt from the Belarusian embassy in Poland.
The negotiations with the Polish authorities were derailed – the sides could not agree on welfare allowances and other social security issues. The Polish authorities continue taking measures to settle all the disputes and to improve the situation, which arose from the strike, the embassy informed.
Most of the Polish customs officials demanded a wage increase and virtually stopped working. To achieve the goal they were going on leave and taking sick-lists. The “quiet strike” ended in long-kilometer queues on the eastern borders of Poland.
There were 245 trucks standing in a queue at the fright terminals of the border checkpoint Kozlovichi on Thursday morning. On Wednesday 280 trucks entered Poland through the border checkpoint Kozlovichi and 54 trucks entered Belarus. The queue on the Polish side is about 54 kilometers long.
