Description

The ‘Strategy for Privatisation of the Hard Coal Mining Sector’ drawn up by the Polish government provides for the merger of the Bogdanka mine with the power generation facility in Kozienice and for the sale of the entity thus created. The unions active at the mine have expressed worries that this will lead to reduced coal extraction and to the downsizing of the workforce by 1,000 jobs.
