Marek Gaik from the Trade Union of Miners in Poland explains that the idea is that these allowances were paid with money ZUS. Currently they make him mine. Until some miners reduced allowances, and the others all taken away.


 

125 thousand. signatures under the Act deputatach

 

More than 125 thousand. people supported civil bill designed to guarantee free the coal from the state budget for all retirees mining.

Deputat carbon is entitled to a certain amount of free carbon; can be realized in nature, or in the form of coal to heat your home or apartment, or cash equivalents, or the payment of equivalent carbon.

 

The bill miners made in Warsaw

leader relationship Dariusz Potyrała stressed that the initiative serves primarily arrangement of the current legal chaos and is not associated with the postulate any new powers for pensioners mining.

 

Currently, 7-equivalent forms of execution

“Today I have seven different ways of implementing this provision; one allowance has been received, another suspended; for some, it is funding the Treasury, other ZUS; some receive it under the law on the restructuring of the mining industry, others on the basis of other provisions “- calculated the head of the Trade Union of Miners in Poland.

 

The annual cost of coal equivalent to 400 million zł. Half of the budget comes from

-equivalent annual costs for pensioners and widows mining trade unionists estimated at approx. 400 million zł, they remind, however, that even today about half of this amount comes from the state budget , which finances allowances for pensioners of mines transferred earlier to the Company Restructuring mines.

 

Your project deputatach government is also preparing

Preparing special act, which is to regulate the matter of Deputies, announced the representatives of the Ministry of Energy, together with the Ministry of family, work and social policy. Potyrała assessed that although the unionists do not know the assumptions of government project, are willing to support him if he goes in the same direction as the citizens’ initiative.

Formally civic project concerns the amendment of the Law of 7 September 2007 on the functioning of the coal industry stone.

 

The act of social allowance from the budget and also for b. Employees

initiators propose to introduce a bill to record the allowance are also entitled to “a former employee of the mine or mining plant, which He has the power to coal equivalent on the basis of existing laws and powers have been taken away or suspended by a decision of the boards of mining companies. ” Another key change is that specified in the Act tasks and benefits “are financed from the state budget subsidy.”

Potyrała stressed that coal allowance for pensioners is – as he said – “the provision of expiring,” because now some time the young miners employed in the mines know that retirement will not be entitled to such a benefit to them. However, those who have acquired such a right should be – they emphasize the unions – to keep them.

Legislative Initiative Committee was registered in the parliament at the end of December last year. Since then, the initiators have three months to collect at least 100 thousand. signatures. The last day of the collection was last Friday. Most signatures were collected in the mines Jankowice and Marcel (more than 8 thousand. In each of them) and the Halemba (more than 7 thousand.).

Deputat coal, which is entitled to a certain amount of free carbon per year, is a very old right mining has traditionally enjoyed by both workers and pensioners or annuitants mining. Of collective agreements or agreements within companies. However, due to the transformation and savings in the mining industry, today not all eligible receive the allowance and provision for those who have them receive, is financed from various sources.

Implementation of coal equivalent is a multimillion-dollar costs for mining companies, thus in recent years, activities of some of them for the reduction or elimination of this benefit. At the same time equivalent-equivalent parts from authorized paid by ZUS. As a result, a large group of senior mining does not get today this provision, and the remainder mainly from smaller companies and liquidated mines, receives, mainly in the form of cash equivalent.

According to the regulations, after submitting the project with signatures of the Sejm , the Speaker within 14 days may request the National Electoral Commission to declare whether you have filed numerous signatures required. The Commission has 21 days to check. If the number of correctly submitted signatures will be greater than the required 100 thousand., The Speaker may refer the project to the first reading in the Parliament – it is carried out within three months from the date of submission of the bill to the Speaker.
