productivity Of the workers,
which he says Is the result Of
unskilled labor.
Mr.. Purzycki believes. the
problem Of incentives has been
licked-an assertion his men
would not quite agree with.
He says a combination of piece
work payments plus prizes and
awards does the trick.
THE men are paid in proper
ton 70 the work they do, so
they work hard" Mr.. Purzycki
explains.
His workers, however. say the
pay is still not enough to make
them work at high speed. And
Furthermore, they say, one
can't find anything to buy in
the stores If one does earn
more.
In other factories, where
piecework is used as an incen-
tive. the managers flnd the
men waste materials and do
slipshod work. The system APP
parently can bring high output,
but not efficiency. And Po-
land, a poor country, needs
both.
No Union Problem
Mr.. Purzycki has no union
problem. The men have a
union, but it is empowered only
to bargain" once year with
the Ministry of Heavy Indus
tries for a new pay scale. But
If the union doesn't like the
pay offered by the state there
is no appeal.
The men can strike legally
only if the factory does not
meet the government-fixed pay
scale. This rarely happens.
Workers in Poland sometimes
strike illegally, but these usu-
ally are demonstrations with
a political twist. Such Demon
STATIONS have interrupted pro-
duction in several Polish fac
tories since the october revo-
luton, but they seem to be
slowing down. There has never
been a strike at Ursus.
Parts Problem q Plague
Another common problem
which Mr.. Purzycki does not
have is that of obtaining a
steady supply of parts from a
"subcontractor." He makes his
own parts. But the parts prob
lem does plague other factories.
such as Poland's only automo-
bile plant.
Stockpiles of parts are not
maintained-that would be too
expensive. So the parts ar
rive, in theory, when they are
needed. But. If, as has hap
pened, the locks for the car
doors do not come to the as
sembly plant on time. a bunch
of cars will 60 without locks or
imperfect, previously rejected
locks will be installed. Either
way, the consumer is stung.
Mr.. Purzycki, as with almost
all Poles, is glad to see the
changes resulting from last
years uprisings.
THE people who work here
became more responsible after
the political changes took
place." he says. They are more
cooperative and more pleas
ant"
He also praises the new
Workers Council, set up in JAM
uary to give workers q share in
management decisions affecting
work conditions.
But what seems to please
him most was the change in
outlook for his factory. I'VE
were preparing to produce a
Russian tractor" he says. But
now we are going to shift to a
light tractor more suitable for
Poland"
Mr.. Purzycki is certainly
looking forward to the day he
can start turning out a tractor
people want.
