Supreme Court dismissed appeal; surface supervision roles are not equivalent to mining work under the Social Insurance Act.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a miner seeking recognition of surface supervision roles as equivalent to underground mining work. The applicant argued that his experience as a shift supervisor and section supervisor qualified him for a mining pension, while the Social Insurance Institution denied benefits based on insufficient underground tenure. The Court ruled that the statutory list of equivalent work is closed and does not include surface supervision positions, thereby rejecting the applicant's claim for a mining pension.
