The Independent Trade Union of the workers of the Zenica Brown Coal Mine (RMU) notified the interior ministries of the Federation (FBiH) entity and the Zenica-Doboj Canton regarding a peaceful protest at the gate of the RMU Zenica, which will be held on Wednesday at 8 am, the head of the RMU Trade Union Elvedin Avdic confirmed Monday.

They also stated that miners from all seven mines from the Public Enterprise Elektroprivreda BiH Concern will hold a protest in front of the FBiH Government building and the Concern HQ in Sarajevo on Thursday June 8, to which the Zenica miners come from Zenica on foot, due to financial resources.

Avdic announced that the Steering Board of the FBiH Independent Union of Mine Workers will come to Zenica on that day and hold a session. This morning, the FBiH Union organized a one-hour warning strike in all the remaining six mines from the Concern, which they plan to hold from 7 to 8 am tomorrow as well.

If the problem of the Zenica mine workers is not resolved, that is, if the account is not unblocked and the salary and hot meal allowance for the month of April is not paid, the next step will be a protest rally on Thursday in front of the FBiH Government and Elektroprivreda BiH, the Union said.
