“In the coal mining sector of the DPR, there has been a positive trend with the payment of wages to workers. If in the first three months of 2015 coal workers received about 40 percent of their salaries, in April this figure was 73 percent on average for enterprises. The total amount of money issued exceeds 108 million hryvnia,” the department said.
– In a peaceful life, such figures of optimism might not have given. But now is wartime, colossal amounts of money are being spent on restoring destroyed mines and their infrastructure, building economic ties from scratch, looking for new markets for our products,” says DPR Minister of Coal and Energy Ruslan Dubovsky.
According to the minister, the immediate plans include achieving XNUMX% and timely payment of current salaries to miners.
