On 12 January 2011, a coal mine Halemba-Wirek announced it will cut 1,402 jobs and reduce the employment from 4,382 to 2,980 by the end of 2011. According to the plan about 110 office workers will be directly dismissed, approximately 300 miners will retire while around 1,000 people will be transferred to other coal mines within Kampania Węglowa Group. The cuts are a result of ongoing restructuring process within the Group.According to the first restructuring plan Halemba-Wirek would have been closed by the end of 2011, but the trade unions strongly opposed to the closure of the coal mine.
