The head of KZHRK ordered preparations for the conservation of all four mines of the enterprise - Volynets
Acting Chairman of the Board of PJSC "Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Plant " (KZhRK, Dnepropetrovsk region) Sergei Novak ordered to begin preparations for the conservation of all four mines of the plant, said the leader of the Independent Trade Union of Miners of Ukraine (NPGU) Mikhail Volynets on his Facebook page in Wednesday.
"Today, the acting head of the KZhRK Sergey Novak instructed the deputies, technical workers to start preparing for the conservation of all four mines of the KZhRK. This is another way of tactical, psychological pressure on workers. Because in the event of such actions, the administration itself brings the enterprise to the loss of internal and external contracts, which will damage not only the team, but also the owners, "Volynets wrote.
According to him, in response to such actions, employees point to the possibility of reprivatizing the plant.
The agency "Interfax-Ukraine " has not been able to obtain official confirmation of this information to date.
"Sergei Borisovich (Novak - IF ) is now on the outskirts of the city (not in Kiev). Besides him, no one can answer these questions, " - explained to the agency at the reception.
