Summary/Abstract: The article discusses how the restructuring of the employment in coal mines influences the way the coal communities function. The problem of social exclusion of former miners and their families became a challenge for the social policy in many of those communities. On the one hand the author tries to present the scale of danger connected with this phenomenon. On the other hand, she analyses how and to what degree the local social policy reacts to this problem.
