Grzegorz Tobiszowski: PGG to enter 11 mines
The government has not changed the objectives of the recovery program for the mining industry – the Polish Mining Group is expected to enter 11 Coal Company mines, not just some of them – assured formerly Deputy Energy Grzegorz Tobiszowski.
The participants in the meeting Deputy Minister Tobiszowski denied press releases, supposedly miners erected ultimatum: cut wages or transfer to PGG only seven mines and liquidation of four others.
– There is no blackmail – 11 mines enters the new structure and we not talked about any 30-percentage reductions (salaries – PAP) in the new company. Nobody would set such conditions – told reporters the deputy minister. Press releases about “ultimatum” for the union described as untrue. Previously denied it in a statement the board Coal Company.
The union confirmed
unionists also confirmed that no charges against them alternative: agreement on the reduction of wages or liquidation of the four mines. – Officially I did not hear; unofficially somewhere he is talking about it, but I think that here we are dealing more with the game of propaganda. I do not know from which side – said the head of Silesian Solidarity Dominik color. Also, the head of the Trade Union of Miners in Poland Dariusz Potyrała denied that the talks had fallen such a proposal.
The unions remind, however, that the recent termination by the board of Company agreement which guaranteed the miners immutability of working conditions and wages for one year from the transfer of mines to the new company, can be read as an introduction to the reduction of wages, for example. by depriving miners 14. the salary and other additional benefits.
At any time the conditions of employment contracts can be changed
– The termination of this agreement gives employers today the possibility that at any moment the conditions of employment contracts can be changed – said the color. Asked if the unions are willing to make concessions and agree to pay cuts, the head of Silesian “S” rating that unions should first understand and analyze economic data of the company, which has not received. – Does not lead to negotiations on a blind date – he commented.
According to him, any discussion of the reduction of wages can not be the first element of which begin negotiations on the future of the mines. – First, changing the rules, changing the system of functioning of the entire sector, and if this does not help, then you need to discuss the elements of the human costs, but you can not do the opposite, as we proposed. People at this stage, absolutely nothing will receive – added color.
Also Dariusz Potyrała of ZZG believes that the negotiations will be conducted in a better atmosphere, if the Management Board Company withdraws from the termination of the agreement in July last year. – If this notice will be maintained by the Board, the conversation will be more difficult, because it creates unstated position both for us as a negotiating party, and employees. I hope that the management will strive for consensus in consultation with us in dialogue – trade unionist said.
“The government (PiS) has ordered idea”
situation in the mining commented during a press conference in the parliament Civic Platform Andrzej Czerwinski, who was the Minister of the State Treasury while creating a recovery program for the Coal Company.
– it is clear to me that the government (PiS) has ordered an idea on what you can do, working in the chaos; what is visible (the government) is only a restructuring of ministries, do no good there is neither a miner nor the unions, nor the Polish economy – said the former minister.
Czerwinski called pre-election statements of the Prime Minister Beaty Szydło , talking about the reopening of mines that would close the PO-PSL coalition. “Today, the situation we have this, that when it comes to mining, the PiS runs the exact same program that prepared Platform” – said deputy.
In his opinion there is no better and more effective mining reform than its thorough restructuring . “We have said that it is necessary consolidation of coal to energy; we had such an agreement prepared with PGNiG, PGE and Energa, we had the opportunity to develop the coal market, using the latest technologies in chemistry “- named politician of the Platform.
Asked about Wednesday’s press reports (denied later by the board of KW and Deputy Minister Tobiszowskiego – PAP) Czerwinski estimated that this is both a problem of management of the ministry of energy and – as he said – “the problem of the credibility of the Prime Minister Beaty Awl, who accused us of action, aimed at restructuring or closing the most unprofitable mines.”
– we have proposed the consolidation that is not policy decided about who is to decide and close or strengthen any enterprise business, but in order to professionals, businessmen, who use coal, decided on this – concluded Czerwinski.
the Band coal is the largest mining company in the coal sector; employs 34.4 thousand. people in 11 mines. Last year the company sold approx. 26 million tonnes of coal; only half of last year was 750 mln zł losses.
