On the same day Gujarat NRE executive chairman Arun Jagatramka stepped down, the company has asked workers to take unpaid leave, despite not paying its miners properly for over a month.
In a meeting this morning the company announced a “light crew” would be kept on at its two mines, and asked other workers to take unpaid or long service leave for at least the next four weeks.
The request comes as the workforce faces close to 40 days without the regular payment of their wages.
However, the CFMEU says anyone who wished to work should do so with the expectation they will be paid when the money becomes available, The Illawarra Merucry reported.
CFMEU southwestern district vice-president Bob Timbs said the Gujarat had no right to withhold pay from employees who showed up for work.
Meanwhile, Arun Jagatramka has resigned as chief executive of the company.
A media statement said his resignation was “reluctantly accepted by the other board members who also put on record their deep appreciation for the services provided by Mr Jagatramka".
Jasbir Singh, Jindal Steel and Power Group’s Australian general manager, is set to replace Jagatramka.

Mine authorities say swimmers could be fined up to $22,000 if they are caught at a popular waterhole near Mount Isa.
Poison Waterhole is used by residents as a recreational area but the site is on an active mine lease.
Queensland's acting commissioner for mine safety and health, Paul Harrison, says the waterhole is on the Robin Mine site.
Mr Harrison says it is illegal to enter a mine lease without permission and warning signs at the site have been continuously damaged or removed.
He says two swimmers have injured themselves in the past 12 months jumping from the rocks.
"The owner of the mine has done everything they can do," he said.
"They've put rocks across the road, they've put signs up, they've put a fence up and people have torn the fence down and moved the rocks off the road and knocked signs down and used the signs as shooting targets and the like, so the mine owner or the leaseholder has been doing basically what any reasonable owner would do.
"It's basically a danger or a hazard because the actual Poison Waterhole itself is an abandoned mine on that mining lease, it's not inspected or kept up to scratch.
"One of the problems, there was a recent accident there where a young man fell and hit the rock wall, there was a makeshift flying fox there, so people are jumping off the high wall and into the water.
"It's a pretty dangerous activity."
