Polish govt reaches agreement with unions at coal miner

Trade unions at Poland’s troubled state-run coal miner Kompania Weglowa (KW) reached a deal with the government on Tuesday that paves the way for the company’s restructuring and partial debt conversion, the energy minister said. KW, European Union’s (EU) largest coal miner, is on the brink of bankruptcy as a result of record-low coal prices and high labour costs.
