In Poland, miners at the Jastrzebie Coal Company have been striking since January 28th over the company's proposal to restructure operations. On Tuesday the strike escalated as employees began a sit-in and others went on a hunger strike. A third of the miners at the company have voted to remove the Chief Executive from office.
