Infringement by employer of duty of supporting employees in their endeavours to develop their occupational qualifications as offence against the rights of people in paid work.

In view of the protective function of labour law the protection of employment relationship through criminal law appears to be justified. Due to the de facto imbalance between parties to an employment relationship the risk of abuse by the employer of its stronger position is much greater, in comparison with, the contractual relationships. At the same time, in the light of the principle of subsidiarity of criminal law only particularly grave employees rights violations entail the criminal liability. In this regards, the article is going to determine, whether the infringement of the employer’s obligation of facilitate professional employee development, that is governed by the Article 17 and Article 96 section 6 of the Polish Labour Code, can be treated as a crime against the employee’s right that stem from the employment relationship and is typified in the Article 218 § 1a of the Polish Criminal Code.

In the penal law literature, due to the guarantee requirements, it is assumed that linguistic interpretation, which means explaining the linguistic content of the words and phrases uses in the act based on their meaning that was assigned to them in everyday Polish language, and it is this linguistic interpretation that has the greatest significance in the penal law.

Right to collective bargaining – the right of workers or trade unions?

In this article the author examines the right to collective bargaining, which is regarded as a fundamental principle of collective labour law and seeks to answer the question whether the right to collective bargaining and the conclusion of collective agreements or arrangements is an emanation of the freedom of association in trade unions or rather amounts to a separated (from the freedom of association) right of employees represented by collective labour law bodies, including trade unions. To this end, the author examines regulations on collective bargaining in international and national law. The aforementioned analysis enabled to conclude that it cannot be unequivocally stated that the right to collective bargaining is granted exclusively to trade unions. At the same time the author states that this right is perceived as one aspect of the freedom of association and cannot be realized by employees directly (individually). Based on the aforesaid analysis the author also formulates proposals for changes in the Polish collective labour legislation.
