Summary:Polish Television gave no indication whether [Stanislaw Kania] mentioned independent unions, a major concession granted the Baltic coast strikers and coal miners who walked off their jobs near Katowice last month. The government has said the agreements will apply nationwide. The Baltic ports were the focal points for two months of the walkouts. Katowice is where some 250,000 coal miners and other workers remained on strike for almost a week after the strikes in northern Poland had been settled. PAP reported strikes by workers at textile plant in Piotrkow, in central Poland; a machine plant in Radomsk; a glassworks factory in Bydgoszcz province; a textile plant in the Olsztyn area, and sulfur mines of southeastern Poland.
