Gdynia: "Union of Polish Sherds r"
1. There are four shipyards in Gdynia, known as "No. 1' "No. 2"0 "No. 12% and
"No. 13"`o The intervening numbers have been reserved for now shipyards which
are to be erected in due course,
2. The No. 13 shipyard, referred to as "the new shipyard",, is located On Caecho-
slowaoka Street. The manager is Mr. Nikos,, an engineer who enjoys a good
reputation and is popular with the workers. The assistant manager, Mr. Filipowioz,
is less popular and his reputation is not so good. The following engineers are
employed in the shipyard: Kwolek. Dobrzynaki (motorcar department), Zabiello
(crane department)o and some others.
3o At the moment no new 'ships are being constructed in the shipyard,..whioh is over
hauling crenes,docks and shipyard installations, as well as repairing ships which
are already in use. Recently the "Der Pomorza" (gift of Pomerania) was overhauled;
now the SEP submarine is undergoing repairs.
4. Work in the shipyard starts at 7 in the morningA and lasts till 300 P.M. At
12 o'clock there is half-an-hour's interval for lunch. The average earnings of
a worker are 16 - 20 zlotys per hour, plus food rations of the First Category,,
and lunches consisting of soup and, sometimes, meat with potatoes. Typists are
paid from 3x000 to 4,000 zlotys per month; engineers from 8,000 to 11pooo zlotys
per month. The allocation of food on ration cards (1st Category) is fairly
generous: bread, sugar, flour, fats, canned foods and milk for the children;
the allocations vary. Sometimes when bread is issued, unexpected additional
allocations are also issued. All food allocations come from UNRRA goods,, Housing
conditions are very difficult; many workers live in barracks near the shipyard.
The state of mind amoung the workers is good. There is a Workers' Council in
the shipyard which is supposed to voice the opinions of the workers and protect
their interests. The chairman is a member of the P.P.S.; his deputy is a member
of the P.P.R. The Workers' Council as not very popular with the workers.
Attendance at the weekly meetings (now they take place at longer intervals)
is onforoedo During one of the propaganda meetings, before the Rerereudum,
when.the gate was closed and a speaker addressed the men from a motoroar, the
workers overturned the oar, opened the gate and left the shipyard. On the whole,,
however, individual workers do not dare voice their views.
