Polish miners block coal transports in bid for more money

Workers from the Polish Mining Group (PGG), Europe's biggest hard coal producer, have blocked coal transports to power plants, demanding better compensation for working weekends and higher wages. The protest is planned to last two days. The PGG board say they want to continue talks with the protesters, but with a facilitator present, while the workers want to start talks right immediately. PGG spokesperson Tomasz Glogowski said that "we're currently waiting for the appointment of a mediator."
