President Zagórowski told journalists that this year coal allowance for pensioners will be paid in October. However, the Executive Board of JSW SA is considering withdrawing from the payment of pensioners coal equivalent in 2015. JSW along with other coal companies asked the Polish government for acquisition by ZUS obligations to pensioners’ free coal, as is the case for retired railroad workers and employees of the liquidated mines. Withdrawal from the payment of the equivalent of the coal to pensioners would save the company in 2015 more than PLN64 million. The Management Board also considers it necessary to implement a rapid adjustment program for Krupiński mine in Suszec, that will prevent further deterioration of the economic situation of the plant. Board of JSW addressed the trade unions acting at the mine for permission to change the work time system. It would be based on the introduction of the six-day working week, of course, maintaining a 5-day work week for the crew - with respect for the principles of the Labour Code. These changes are one of the necessary conditions for improving the situation of the mine and ensure its profitability in the coming years.  

Workers and trade unions of  Krupiński mine, recognizing the importance of the problem, expressed their willingness to make changes in the system of working time, however, Representative Trade Union Organisations working at JSW did not accept the arrangements made between the direction of the mine and trade unionists working within its structures.
