Axiological assumptions of trade ban on Sundays and Holidays

On November 24, 2017, lower house of the Polish Parliament passed a law, which prohibits trade on Sundays, feast days and some other days. The justification part of the draft does not contain a clearly exposed catalogue of constitutional freedoms, rights or values constituting the axiological basis of the proposed regulation, especially clear justification for introducing restrictions of the freedom of economic activity. The analysis of the draft documents leads to the conclusion that there are four potential axiological basis of new law – freedom of conscience and religion, the right to rest, the right to respect private and family life and the development of domestic entrepreneurship. Both the above mentioned foundations and the inconsistency between them and the specific provisions of new law, as well as thesis of the justification part of the draft, give rise to many doubts about the constitutionality of the new regulations.

Expansion of protective provisions for non-employee employment relations – consideratios de lege lata and de lege ferenda on the example of commission contracts – selected issues

The article addresses the issue of extending the provisions of a protective nature to increasingly common civil-law employment relations. The starting point of the considerations is the question whether the very fact of concluding a civil law contract justifies depriving the person performing the work of the possibility of including this relationship with any norms of a protective nature characteristic of legal relations. Searching for the answer to such a question comes first to the characteristics of the current labor market. In addition, the author has shown to what extent the labor law provisions, by way of current amendments, have covered civil law employment relations.

The merit of the article is the author’s argued position to what extent the protective provisions of labor law should include employment relations established on the basis of the mandate contract.

Humans have always been gregarious creatures, initially organizing themselves in tribes. This model allowed individuals to survive by means of mutual help. The same relationship can be observed in the trade union movement. A worker caring for their interests alone has less ability to achieve a given purpose than an organization which acts collectively. The history of trade unions started in Great Britain, which is viewed as the cradle of communities of working people. the union movement developed in several stages running differently in different legal realities. The article below presents the trade unions from a psychological and historical perspective including the attempt to answer the question about the reasons for the decline in unionization.

Contractual liability of illegal strike organisers

From the normative perspective illegal strike organisers are, as a rule, liable for the damages caused by that strike under the tortious liability. However, they may also be held contractually liable. This liability:
is subsidiary in nature towards the liability resulting from  the Act on Resolving Collective Disputes;
is a private law liability regulated by the civil code and not a public law liability regulated by the Act on Resolving Collective Disputes.
De lege lata, an employer is, in principle, entitled only to make a claim against the strike organisers to pay money. The employer may oblige the striking employees to work off  the time of illegal strike only in nominal working time.

The Israeli labor law system places a duty on employers to conduct a hearing prior to the dismissal of an employee. It also requires that dismissals should be conducted in good faith. The article presents research undertaken that reveals identifiable tendencies regarding certain factors that influence the court’s rulings of compensation rates for the violation of due process. The findings of the research may help parties and their lawyers to predict to some extent the scope of the compensation award to be expected.

Employment of Domestic Workers in Poland – the Current Situation and Perspectives for Changes

The growing importance of domestic services in modern global economy does not help improve the situation of domestic workers on the labour market. The working conditions of domestic workers are far from those that are necessary for the implementation of the right to decent work. One of the main barriers in the present situation is the lack of legal recognition of domestic work in many national legal systems. Domestic workers are one of the least protected groups of workers. The aim of this paper is to present the terms and conditions of employment of domestic workers in the light of the existing law in Poland as well as under the proposals set out in the draft of the Labour Code developed by the Labour Law Codification Committee in the years 2002–2006.
