JSW mulls longer working week

WSE-listed JSW, a mining company, said on Monday it is considering extending the working week into Saturday to improve efficiency. Edward Szlek, CEO of JSW, said he wants to increase production by 1.2 million tonnes per year from the most effective coal faces by adding an additional working day. "It has to be profitable for the workers, too, so we need to agree on reasonable payment rules with unions for this additional day of work," he said. In 2014 JSW produced 13.5 million tonnes of coal.
