Good work proves the point

On Wednesday of last week, December 15th, the Ferrocentrum Social Club was the venue for the official awarding of certificates at the end of a basic management course covering social, economic and legislative issues which was organized by U. S. Steel Kosice for steelworks employees from the Lunik IX neighborhood in Kosice.
The award ceremony was attended by USSK Vice-president Personnel and Organization Martin Pitorak, General Manager Energy Resources Vladimir Jacko, Power Plant and Cokery Division Managers, Velka Ida village council leader Frantisek Snir, the priest leading the mission at Lunik IX Jozef Cerven, as well as all the participants in U. S. Steel Kosice's special employment projects. From September 20th to December 13th this year, fourteen young Romanies were taught by staff from the Secondary Metallurgical School in Kosice and by Bill Barker, an American who has been working for several years in Slovakia. After the participants in the 40-hour course received their certificates, another official act took place.
U. S. Steel Kosice management carried out its decision to sign full employment contracts with the three young men with the best results. Vice-president Martin Pitorak signed contracts with Karol Polak and Dionyz Sasi, who have been working on temporary contracts at the Power Division Heating Plant. The third new member of the steelmaking family is to be Tibor Horvath from Velka Ida, who was not able to attend the end-of-course celebrations due to serious personal reasons.
