	Jiu Valley Association
		Due to initial lack of required cvorum, the General Assembley of Jiu Valley Association Members was rescheduled for May 4th, 13.00 o'clock; the meeting took place at the Library of the University of Petrosani.
		Jiu Valley serves as a key gateway to Retezat National Park and various ranges (Parang, Retezat, Vâlcan) within the surrounding Carpathian Mountains.
		Founded in the 17th century, Petrosani is the principal city and cultural centre for the upper Jiu Valley coalfield.

		The miners of the Jiu Valley in central Romania marched on Bucharest this week demanding a 35 per cent pay increase and a halt to the restructuring programme that would lead to 70,000 workers being made redundant in an area already in social crisis.
		For young intellectuals in the 'Paris of the East', the mines of the Jiu Valley symbolise a dark past of which they would dearly like to rid Romania: manifestly uneconomic businesses, inherited from the Ceaucescu regime, their workers led by Miron Cozma, the corrupt 'King of Coal', in cahoots with the mafia.
		Smashing the miners of the Jiu Valley thus came to be seen as a key bargaining chip.

	Bitter victory for Romanian miners, by Damien Roustel
		The story of his life is that of all the miners of the Jiu Valley, a story of being endlessly swindled and put upon by the powers that be.
		The valley has 16,000 unemployed out of 170,000 inhabitants, an unemployment rate of about 25% compared with the national average, which according to official statistics is 10% (1).
		Even before the big strikes of February 1933, there had been a foretaste in the Jiu Valley during the summer of 1929: in Lupeni there were strikes on 5 August 1929, the result of which was 32 workers dead and 56 wounded (2).

	The Class Struggle in Romania
		Even before the big strikes of February 1933, there had been a foretaste in the Jiu Valley during the summer of 1929: in Lupeni there were strikes on 5 August 1929, the result of which was 32 workers dead and 56 wounded.
		The Jiu valley now has 16,000 unemployed out of 170,000 inhabitants, an unemployment rate of about 25% compared with the national average, which according to official statistics is 10%.
		The Bucharest government has by no means abandoned the policy of "shock therapy." The duplicity of the authorities, who are trying to divide and disorient the miners with a stick and carrot policy, is shown by the fact that, once the movement appeared to have died down, they reneged on their promises.

		The documentary focuses on Romania’s Jiu Valley, which is quite similar to the coal regions throughout Europe and the U.S. Since the end of socialism in 1989, but especially since 1997, the Valley mining industry has been greatly cut-back, leaving many mining families in a dire economic situation.
		Jiu Valley miners are suffering and interpret their current labor and economic difficulties as an attack on their physical health and well-being.
		People see their lives as a challenge but manage to take meaning and joy wherever they can, which is the reason that the film closes with scenes of neighborhood life, youthful partying, and communal celebration, despite the danger, death, and economic decline in the Jiu Valley.

		But the absence of any reconversion program for the laid-off workers spells disaster for this region, now known as "the valley of grief," where unemployment has exploded to 35 percent, and the number of miners has shrunk from 60,000 in 1989 to less than 16,000 in 2004.
		According to Costel Postolache, leader of Romania's biggest miners' union dubbed "the fl heads," only three or four of the mines still open are scheduled to undergo modernization and all of them are obsolete, with equipment dating back to the 1950s.
		According to Ivanus, the 21.5 million euros in subsidies given to the industry by the Romanian government are insufficient to modernize the mines.

		None of the 13 mining complexes in the Jiu Valley was closed; but a programme was put in place which paid any miner who opted for early retirement 20 months' salary in a lump sum - a very large temptation, given that miners' wages were already much higher than the national average.

		The plight of the Jiu Valley miners was perfectly understood in the offices of the IMF, the World Bank and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development; some of the officials of these organisations had probably even been to Petrosani but, like me, they knew what they would think about it before they got there.

		Our quantitative exercise shows that the delay in restructuring in Jiu Valley was grossly inefficient in view of the region's overall restructuring path and in comparison to Ostrava's path.
		The proximate reason for the delay was the Jiu Valley miners' action against restructuring.
		We interpret the Jiu Valley miners' militancy as behaviorally conditioned rather than rationally determined, which accords with their history of militancy in contrast to the absence of militancy among Ostravian miners.
