In April, trade unionists from this plant protested against the actions leading – in their opinion – to close Rudzka, and in view of the Katowice part of the plant. They pointed to the fact that the mine for further work is necessary to launch a new longwall.
In accordance with the conditions of use must be approved by the District Mining Office in Katowice, which in April – posiłkując earlier expert opinion of the Committee. Hazards in underground coal-mining – referred to the project negatively. He refused to approve an addition to the plan of the mine for the years 2015-2017, filed in early April by a holding, which triggered protests by trade unionists. Then mine had prepared a new draft, taking into account the recommendations of the Office; Thursday informed of its adoption.
“It was primarily to coordinate the work of the party, where he has built a new wall, with the work carried out and planned in the next batch. Such were the earlier recommendations of the committee of experts, which were not included in the previous addition to the plant operations plan – why did not receive the approval of OUG. the new addition, which included the coordination of work in the two decks could be approved “- PAP said a spokeswoman for the State Mining Authority (WUG) in Katowice Jolanta Talarczyk.
According to the mining supervision, although in the area of the planned new wall is a lot of underground hazards in itself does not prevent the conduct there works – are needed and additional, costly solutions to ensure safety – the responsibility for this rests on mine. Proper coordination of the work in two parts of the deposit is expected to reduce the potential risk.

The decision OUG allow the simultaneous conduct mining operations in both parts of the deposit, or exploitation longwall in the board 506 in the party K and the execution of preparatory works for the cutting of the lot in a nearby wall 1J board.
“currently is run starting wall in the board 506. The end of coal mining from this wall is scheduled for December this year. Then, the mine plans to start the operation deck 510 another wall. However, in the party J is carried out excavation pits przyścianowego ( …), and the launch of mining is scheduled in July this year, “- spokesman KHW.
In addition, last Wednesday started excavating another sidewalk, so that in the second quarter of next year will be able to begin operation next resource with a lot of J, mining row 1.6-1.7 thousand. tons of coal per day.
With the decision of the mining supervisory enjoy the unions. “As soon as information about the positive decisions for OUG reached the mine, harvesters started to work. That was the last moment. If work is not started until mid-May, lose liquidity mining and next year we would not have what fedrować” – commented the head of the Solidarity Rudzka Peter Bienek mine.
According to the union, the earlier refusal of mining supervision had no factual basis. They pointed out that mining in Rudzka mine was remodeled in such a way that it belongs now to the safest. Thus shortening the life of the mine was abandoned, eg. From the operation of the so-called. Panewnickiego field, where in previous years there have to shock and tragedy. “Today we have areas with the lowest possible degree of risk of rock burst in which the arrears of high quality coal from the so-called. Film trailer” – explains Bienek.

Mining and preparatory work in the first and second quarter are not compromised. Movement of Silesia is working as planned two walls, their reinforcement and run takes place in established dates.
The conclusions of a recent audit conducted in KHW commissioned by the Ministry of Energy stated that “should be examined model of the Wujek-Slask”, where a large impact on the operation to natural hazards and geological conditions.
