No strike action after miners' wage demands are met

Trade unions from the Polish Mining Group (PGG), Europe's biggest hard coal producer, reached agreement in a wage dispute with PGG management on Friday and suspended the announced strike action. Under the deal, the average remuneration at PGG will be raised to PLN 8,200 (EUR 1,800) gross from the current PLN 7,829 (EUR 1,726), which met the miners' demands. They will also receive a one-off compensation of an average of PLN 1,500 (EUR 330) for working weekends.
