Breaks put on "profitable" mining companies

According to the general shareholders meetings of all coal companies held on April 2, it turns out that the management of those entities have to first ask the Minister before employing a miner. At the same time, directors were obliged to not increase employment, and from April 25 they have to ban overtime work. "A lack of agreement to increase employment will result in limiting mining of coal at a time when demand and prices are both high," said a representative of a coal company. Others are also unhappy with this decision. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 6)MM
