Polish coal miners' union leader Bogusław Ziętek in 2020: "I cannot imagine coal production to be reduced, we must guarantee employment until 2060 at least".

Also Bogusław Ziętek, in 2001: "all profits must be paid out to the workers" (rather than invested in modernizing mining infrastructure).

A side note: back in 2014 out of 15 state-owned coal mines in Poland only 3 (three) were profitable, the others are hopelessly outdated. 30% coal is imported... and, you know, decarbonization!
