Some of the miners continue to be directly at the mine face (out of 50, 47 remain, since some of the strikers rose to the surface due to poor health), another part of the workers supports the strike on the surface, refusing to go down until the management pays off the arrears of wages.
This was reported by journalists from the local TV channel “Orbita”, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Nothing happened in XNUMX hours. Everything is the same. There is a strike going on, people are in the mine, people are dressed up. There is only one requirement: payment of wage arrears for the month of August. It would also be desirable to receive an advance payment for September,” said one of the striking miners.
On Monday, the mine received four million hryvnia, but only those miners who went on strike right at the mine face received the money. These miners received five hundred hryvnia. The workers regarded this amount as a handout:
“The bosses come and say: “Go to the mine!” They gave me a handout and that’s it,” the miners say.
Acting General Director of the State Enterprise "Mirnogradugol" Vitaly Dovgan states that due to the strike the company is incurring losses.
“Today, the company incurs losses of two million hryvnia every day. It was promised that three hundred million hryvnia for the coal industry would be allocated from the budget, but the budget committee will meet only on October 11. And we expect money no earlier than October 18,” said Dovgan.
