Everyday life of employees in the Uranium Mines Příbram during the so-called normalization

This diploma thesis is focused on everyday life of employees working in the uranium mines in Příbram during the so-called normalization. Using the method of oral history, I try to capture the ordinary lives of ordinary people against the background of one historical period, with regard to the work benefits which were provided to them by their employer. The thesis is anchored in a rich source base, which primarily constists of interviews conducted directly with witnesses of the time, secondarily of archival material and relevant literature. The main goal of the thesis is to find out why young men decided to pursue the hard work of a miner, how the company took care of them, what contributions the employer offered to them and, in general, how the people involved see uranium life today
