The great coal jobs fraud - unrealistic employment claims in southeast Europe
Publisher: CEE Bankwatch Network
Volume: 48 pages, pdf
Description:
In 2004, the World Bank warned that the current levels of employment in the coal industry in southeast Europe were unsustainable. It estimated that the workforce needed to be reduced between 68 and 83 per cent in order for the industry to become viable. Such a political hot potato was never going to be easy to deal with, and successive governments have failed to either plan or implement coherent strategies for a wellorganised and just re-organisation of the industry.
