Jastrzębie Coal Mine

Silesia

The mine, which opened in 1962, was located partly in Jastrzębie Zdrój and partly in Mszana. In 1963, it was merged with the Moszczenica Coal Mine, creating a Jastrzębie-Moszczenica Coal Mine. It existed for three years. In 1966, the mines were separated, and their previous names were restored. In 1994, the mines were reconnected and incorporated into the Jas-Mos Coal Mine as Ruch Moszczenica Coal Mine. In 2000, Ruch Moszczenica Coal Mine ceased operations, and the currently operating Jas-Mos Coal Mine is part of Jastrzębska Spółka Węglowa.

Community activities, various laws and television shows are addressing the issue - with positive results. But is the actual problem being tackled?
