"Coal mines are not just found in history books. Although doomed to extinction due to their catastrophic impact on the environment, they remain a reality in several European countries. HesaMag wanted to see what work was like in a coal mine and get to know the views of trade unionists working in the sector. We found a mixture of pride in a mythical trade, denial of the negative effects on the miners' personal health and the environment, and sometimes naive trust in technical solutions and pacts with the sector's employers. Nevertheless, the views of these miners take on a different sense when regarded alongside the photos featured in this report."
