Classified Polnews

Warsaw, Poland April 13, 2007 Old in Poland is apparently over 30. Polish Radio is firing "old women" regardless of ability and simply because they are too old for the Vice President.

Jerzy Targalski, Vice President of Polish Radio, told a woman employee, who has been working there for 33 years, that he is firing her because he "sees only old women around here".

Maria Szablowska, who has a music program on Polish Radio channel one was told to quit, because Targalski is cleaning the radio station of "Gierek-Gomulka residues".

Szablowska told Targalski that she will go to labour court. Targalski encouraged her to do that because he "always wins in courts".

Szablowska wrote a letter to the Ethics Commission describing her conversation with Targalski.

Another of the employees of the radio station says that the Vice President has treated many employees in a similar way, but they are afraid to talk. Many of them don't even want to make a report to the Ethics Committee.

Targalski told reporters that when talking about "old women" he was only quoting statistics in that only 13 percent of the employees are 30.

He has been creative in is descriptions of the employees at the radio station. He said that the "average age is close to that at the cemetary". And he said about Tadeusz Sznuk and his voice: "when you have a nice voice in the concentration camp, people will learn to like it too". Targalski clarified his comments for reporters by saying that concentration camp means PRL.

He also said that "if you were good during marshal law, you are no good in the radio now".
