After several years of wage moderation, negotiations at companies from the energy sector – energy firm Tauron, fuel company PKN Orlen, coal-mining firms JSW and PGG, and copper and silver extractor KGHM – have been concluded with large pay increases, which reflects the good financial health of the industry. The salary agreements will apply to some 148,000 workers at the companies, which are around one third state-owned. The largest pay rises (+7%) are in the mining sector.
Bonuses and pay rises at Tauron. Negotiations at energy group Tauron followed on from a framework agreement that was singed on June 8 2017, by the firm’s social council, which represents workers, and the management. Under the agreement reached at Tauron Wydobycie, which brings together the group’s coal-mining business and employs more than 6,600 people, individual annual bonuses – amounting to a gross 1850 PLN (431 euros) per employee – will be paid at the end of June.
