It looks as though the Civic Platform are after a radical "restructuring" of the coal industry and unions aren't happy. The coal industry is haemorrhaging cash with cheap gas, foreign coal and renewables flooding the market. The measures include the closure of Kompania Veglova - the largest coal mine in Europe.

If you want different perspectives on the matter here is the International Committee of the Fourth International's spin, and here is the Very Serious Paper's take.

Actually, the government and the unions reached an agreement to save Kopalnia Węglowa (which is the largest coal mining company in Europe, not a single mine). Mine won't be closing.
