Thousands of Polish miners working in the coal mines, although it has long since acquired pension rights. So far, the management of the mining companies found it difficult to convince them to go away for a well deserved rest. Now managements received support unions.
Mining “Solidarity” indicates that the board Coal Company presented the plan to terminate the contracts of employment for economic reasons with people who have pension rights. – Presented by the board, however, the number of employees very selective in our opinion, is not included because people in managerial positions or employed on civil contracts. For us, it is clear that if the Company has cut jobs, the first job they should leave those who have already secured their livelihood. However, it should This applied to all pensioners, including representatives of trade unions protected against dismissal – says Jaroslaw Grzesik, chairman of mining “Solidarity”.
Rumor has it that these people in the same KW can work up to a thousand. That’s about as much as they had, until recently, the entire crew to be mine closure Kazimierz – Julius. In contrast, the economy ministry data shows that the whole industry is currently 3.7 thousand. persons who have pension rights.
The Boards of mining companies have long been trying to convince the eligible employees to have gone to pot ZUS. JSW has launched a special campaign, for example, social, referring to solidarity between generations. Management of the companies argue that if every year everyone will be entitled to leave well-deserved retirement, it’s definitely reduce the risk of layoffs, because the size of the crew, and so will shrink. A cost cuts are necessary due to the continuing low price of coal on the global markets and deepening losses mines.
The miners, whose average salaries far exceed the national average, can not complain and the level of pensions, which is calculated special rules. Transferred to the pension earlier than in other industries, and some of their benefits is covered by the state budget. As a result, the average pension in 2013 mining. Was 3.77 thousand. zł, while the average for all pensioners – less than 2 thousand. zł. Of all the mining retirees, 27 percent. had not completed 55 years.
Emeritus miners also have the carbon allowance, paid by mining companies. It is a privilege to which mining companies are trying to fight back, albeit with varying degrees of success. The first decision in this matter has taken Coal Company, which for months now teetering on the brink of bankruptcy. Decided to reduce the dimension of the first carbon free, but that back-pedaled. It turned out that pensioners have decided to fight for their rights and flooded the courts lawsuits against KW. As a result, the company’s management to restore dimension in coal for 2014., Moving only to the date of payment in lieu. But did not change its decision-equivalent liquidation in 2015. Coal India Company Retirement costs annually around 260 million zł.
Similar decisions on the Elimination of this privilege for retired leaders have recently Katowice Coal Holding and JSW. It is not known yet whether pensioners will fight for the restoration of those rights in court.
