ZENICA, July 26 (FENA) - Thirty miners of the only remaining production plant of the Subsidiary Company of the Zenica Coal Mines, who descended into the pit "Raspotočje" yesterday in the second shift, spent the night underground. The management of the company forbade other miners of the third shift to go down into the pit, confirmed the president of the Independent Trade Union of the Zenica Coal Mine Elvedin Avdić.

The miners stopped production again yesterday in the second shift due to the delay in the salary for June, and the deadline for payment was yesterday. The miners who went down into the pit in the second shift to secure the construction site on the "broad front" decided to remain there until further notice and thus express their protest.

"The miners spent the night in the pit, and the management of the company forbade borrowing lamps and going down into the pit to other people who came in the third shift last night. No one gave us any written proof of that decision, but this is how the manager of the 'Raspotočje' facility informed people. They are probably afraid that even the miners who come down now will decide to stay in the pit. It is only allowed that the members of the inspection service and the workers who work on the water pumps charge the mining lamps for moving around the pit, which is an obligation to maintain the pit during the suspension of production," Avdić pointed out for FENA.

The Presidency of the Association of Independent Unions of Mines of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, led by President Sinan Husić, will hold a meeting in Zenica today and address the public at a press conference at 10:00 am.
