Coal mining company Przedsiębiorstwo Górnicze Silesia announced that the modernized coal mine in Chechowice-Dziedzice will be operational in the first half of 2012 creating 400 jobs.
The company plans to initially implement a six-day working week in the coal mine, which will then be increased to a seven-day working week. This system of work is uncommon in the Polish mining industry. The company has negotiated this plan with the local trade unions.
In Fall 2010 the coal mine, which was then part of Kompania Węglowa, was acquired by the Czech company Energeticky a Prumyslovy Holding (EPH). The new owner planned to increase the extraction of coal and to invest 100-150 million EUR within three years.
Przedsiębiorstwo Górnicze Silesia currently employs 1,300 people.
