The next meeting on this and – if ultimately will be the consent of all compounds – the signing of the agreement is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. In him to take part Energy Minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski.
The negotiated last Saturday project envisages suspension of payment of the so-called. fourteenth salary for two years, combining acceleration of some mines, voluntary exercise by 3,8-4 thousand. people with social protection and to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement by 1 January 2018. – this time to apply existing labor regulations.
to agreement entered into force, they must sign all of them operating in the Company central trade unions, which are parties to the earlier agreements; otherwise the agreement will not, and thus PGG not rise from 1 May. Their opposition to the agreement negotiated as reported on Monday, union staff, publishing project of his position on this issue. It is so far the only compound that has publicly announced his negative position.
“Trade Union of Mining Executive does not sees the possibility of signing the Agreement presented the public on 16 April 2016. Implementation of the provisions of the agreement assess as the beginning of the liquidation of the Coal company. consent to the departure of our company about 5 thousand. employees in a short time, given the current gaps in employment, the agreement to cease his business “- says the job.
the unions of Staff believe that the signing of the agreement is enforced związkowcach , to allow the business plan of the company, which – according to a relationship – it is impossible. “Underinvestment mines, devoid of workers, do not bring out the planned 28 million tons of coal. With the proposed solutions do not have a chance to set up in the business income” – posted a trade union, according to which the wage bill can not be “the primary source of savings” and the suspension of payments “fourteen” may lead to further wage restrictions.
“the proposed solutions are breaking all previous agreements in force in the Coal Company and an agreement between the government and the social side, which ended 17 January 2015. social unrest. Our employer does not respect signed agreements. Signing the next we consider it illogical “- pointed unionists of Human Resources.
Deputy Minister of Energy Grzegorz Tobiszowski argued on Monday in Katowice that the draft agreement is a difficult but good document promising – as he said – “hope that the formation of PGG and will be effective. I hope that tomorrow the social side to confirm these findings and look forward to the results of consultations today, “- said PAP deputy minister.
On Monday, the employees of Kompania got a letter, signed by Deputy Minister Tobiszowskiego and energy minister Krzysztof Tchórzewski. They called on the miners to accept the negotiated draft agreement on Saturday. “Since your decision, your understanding and goodwill will depend saving mining” – posted heads the department of energy to the miners.
” we came to share a common effort to deal with the problem, which left us predecessors. List of negligence, recklessness in the management, extravagance and pathology KW brought to the brink of the economic abyss. Together with you, we undertake a difficult effort to rescue the company. Now we know – if PGG not arise – there is a very serious risk that miners will have no payments in May, and soon work “- says in the letter the minister and his deputy.
Tchórzewski and Tobiszowski convince miners in writing that “the negotiated document gives investors the guarantee of a safe capital investments in PGG and miners guarantee stability of employment.” “In the absence of agreement created a serious problem of unemployment, which will have to face not only the family mining deprived of employment in the mines, but all of Silesia” – we read.
From negotiated last Saturday for several hours the project shows that the most important concession the social side is to agree to the suspension of payments of the annual bonus (ie. the fourteenth salary) in the years 2017-2018 (due to miners for the years 2016-2017.) All other additional benefits, and the amount of wages to be maintained at least until 1 January 2018. – until then should arise a new collective agreement with the company. On Monday in the mines organized mass production, during which the project was submitted to the miners. An information campaign on the agreement also undertook the management Company.
Leader due August 80 Boguslaw Zietek told PAP that mass production run very quietly; “Crew approach this carefully, with full seriousness and understanding the situation and knowing that at stake is the maintenance of jobs” – rated Ziętek, according to which there is no need for a referendum on the issue among miners. In his opinion on Tuesday, the union must sign an agreement which will open the way to the formation of PGG the beginning of May. The head of Silesian Solidarity Dominik color indicated that negotiated the project is much more favorable for the miners than earlier proposals to the board of KW and “difficult to predict whether anyone could negotiate a better agreement.”
Management Company initially proposed a suspension of payments “fourteen” and the coal for three years. Another proposal was also limited the payment of bonuses barbórkowej, but the payment and the amount of benefits were to be linked the results of individual mines. the unions did not agree to these proposals, and pressed to the board was looking for savings beyond the sphere of wages. It was finally decided that – if an agreement is signed – the only suspension will apply to “fourteen” in the years 2017-2018 (for the years 2016 and 2017). For good results, “fourteen” for 2017. Or part of it would be paid. Bonuses barbórkowe and coal allowances will not be suspended.
An important change contained in the draft agreement is an extension of the warranty employee (other than the proposed suspension “fourteen”) in the new company. In line with previous findings, the miners passing from KW to PGG on the basis of Article 23 of the prim Labour Code, they had to keep the remuneration and other benefits unchanged for another year, ie – assuming that PGG uprising on May 1 – May 2017. Now warranties to be prolonged until the end of 2017. – this time, unions and management to negotiate a new collective agreement; negotiations are to be started “immediately”.
Parties declare it in the draft agreement that “will cooperate on an agreement to simplify and standardize the system of remuneration in the enterprise, as well as establishing the rules of motivation “.
Up to 1 July this year, according to the agreement, would arise mines complex. This means that connection in a structure adjacent Ruda mines Bielszowice, Halemba and Peace; second mine complex to be present mines Piast and Ziemowit (in Bieruń and Lędziny), and the third mines Rybnik: Chwałowice, Jankowice, Marcel and Rydułtowy. To remain independent mines Boleslaw the Bold in Laziska Gorne and Sośnica in Gliwice. Approx. 3,8-4 thousand. KW employees is expected to benefit from voluntary social protection, the transition to the Company Restructuring of Mines, together with the transfer to that company of redundant assets, as a result of the processes of restructuring and merger.
PGG is expected to start operations on 1 May this year, taking over 11 mines and four plants threatened with bankruptcy company together with the entire approx. 32.5-thousandth of the crew of the largest mining company. Willingness to engage in PGG capital totaling 1.5 billion zł declared PGE, Energa and PGNiG Termika. It is also possible conversion of approx. 0.5 billion zł of the total amount of approx. 1.5 billion zł KW debt to banks on shares in PGG.
If on Tuesday will sign an agreement with the unions, at the end of the week would be finalized formalities for the transfer of mines KW to PGG.
