Airline, dock strikes averted in Poland
| Warsaw
In twin victories for the nation's newly elected Communist leadership, strikes by the Polish state airline, LOT, and by 40,000 dockworkers were averted. Airline negotiators agreed to call off a planned Friday strike after receiving a letter from Prime Minister Wojciech Jaruzelski promising them a say in choosing the airline's director, a post with close l inks to the armed forces.
