Sand-blasting without a mask

is not allowed.

Is that funny to you?

Why talk to me?

You've got the union.

The union takes care of its own holidays,

not our safety masks.

Listen, friend, the director is too busy to

deal with an employee's personal business.

It's not personal business,

it's the workers' business.

Then get back to work, workers!

Unless you don't like your jobs here.

Why aren't you working?

What's going on?

- A power cut.

- Again?

- Power out? How can we do our work?

- You'll work through the night.

Those guys will learn how to play

before we get the power back.

Do something, Lech.

You are a social labor inspector.

What do you want me to do about it?

Man, as a labor resource,

can achieve incredible goals.

Working under our leaders' guidance is a

source of pride, joy, and inspiration.

However, under capitalism,

it's a whole different matter.

There, the working class

must constantly defend its rights.

Therefore I move that

we declare our support

for striking dockers in Brazil

and farmers in Thailand.

Who's in favor?

Raise your hands higher.

Who's against?

I can't see anyone.

And one more issue to be presented

on behalf of the staff by Czesiaw Mijak.

As imperialism tiptoes around us,

on its wolf's feet,

it is our duty to kill it off.

Since each year brings

further progress in our work,

I motion for the introduction

of voluntary penalties for those

who failed to meet last year's goals.

You want us to steal from ourselves?

Leave it.

Potatoes are more expensive

than our ships.

Are power failures our fault?

And shortages of sheet metal?

First Secretary Gierek broke

his promises, cheated the nation.

He does as he pleases, without the

consent of the working class.

Silence! What is this?

Stop all this! The issue is settled!

You've had your consultations.

That was a chance to have your say.

We're having a vote

on Comrade Mijak's proposal.

Let's vote democratically.

Openly. Who's in favor?

Who's against?

I see we have a controversy.

I'll break the bastard in two.

Goddamn snitch!

Where does Mijak live?

Good. You're here...

They stole the door to the john

And there's a draft now.

- Father's sick. Electricity's weak.

- Shhh... Shut it, woman!

They're not here to help

but to get revenge.

Close the door, then.

Invite your guests in.

No, no, we'll be going.

Maybe some other time.

Let's drop it...

Go on, beat me up.

They gave me wood for the stove

and promised

to hook up electricity.

Mijak.

I'll hook it up for you.

What are you doing?

Lech, let's go. You promised

to help me with the laundry.

- Catch some sun. I'll help tomorrow.

- You're working tomorrow.
