Underground strike continues at four Ukrainian mines for ten days

On Saturday, September 12, the tenth day of the protest action of the miners of the Krivoy Rog iron ore plant began.


This was announced by the head of the Independent Trade Union of Miners Mikhail Volynets.

The strike is taking place at the mines Oktyabrskaya, Rodina, Ternovskaya and Gvardeiskaya. 241 miners are taking part in the action. Volynets noted that the press service of the Kryvyi Rih Iron Ore Combine has already announced the signing of a certain memorandum. At the same time, they only casually specified that the document was signed by only one side – the management of the enterprise.

“The miners left the negotiations without agreeing on the proposed terms. Therefore, underground and ground protests in Kryvyi Rih continue”, – Volynets said.
