On August 1, the representative trade unions operating in JSW (Solidarity, Confederation of JSW Miners’ Trade Unions and Kadra) started a collective dispute, demanding payment of 15 percent of the wages of the company’s employees. The net value of the amount allocated for future tax. On Friday, the trade unions met with the JSW board of directors on the matter.

“The board of directors of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa indicated that work on the government bill providing for the transfer of surplus income of large entities from the coal mining sector and coke production has not yet been completed. Therefore, there is currently no document indicating the value of the contribution. Therefore, the talks will be postponed Until the end of the legislative path “- reported the unions, which posted on the Internet a memorandum signed by both sides from Friday’s talks.

The trade union representative expressed a position After the law is passed and the tax amount is determined, an agreement will be signed that guarantees the payment of the money indicated in the application to the company’s employees. The unions said we will continue our efforts to ensure JSW employees receive this money as part of the collective dispute that began on August 1, 2023, with the hope of holding an immediate meeting after the bill is finalized.

As assessed by Sławomir Kozłowski, Head of Solidarity at JSW, Solidarity’s contribution is unfavorable for the company. “It is incomprehensible that such a bonus is charged only for JSW, which raises concerns among employeesAs such the large amount may reduce investment opportunities in JSW facilities. Investments in mines must be carried out, because only then will we return to the growth path of coal mining. We cannot allow a lack of funds to force us to choose important and more important investments.”

21 July around 22,000 crew of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa already received an incentive prize in the amount of 7.5 to 11.5 thousand PLN. Total PLN for the employee. The company allocated approximately PLN 230 million gross for the prizes. The payment was the result of the agreement concluded in February of this year. The wage agreement, which stipulated, among other things, that the salaries of JSW employees increase by an average of 15.4% this year. At that time, it was also agreed that after evaluating the results achieved by the company in the first half of the year, talks would begin about paying an additional benefit, which took place in July.
