https://doi.org/10.4467/25444654SPP.22.033.16578The amendment to the Act on Trade Unions, which entered into force on 1 January 2019, significantly expanded the scope of people who have the right to associate in trade unions. As a consequence—in connection with Art. 6 of the Act on resolving collective disputes—the provisions of the Act on collective disputes concerning employees shall apply accordingly to these persons. This text analyses the legal status of these persons in the context of collective labour disputes. The author points out in particular those provisions of the Act on resolving collective disputes, the proper application of which to persons performing work on a basis other than an employment relationship may raise theoretical and practical problems and, as a finally, result in a reduction in the level of their protection compared to employees.

https://doi.org/10.4467/25444654SPP.20.004.11720This article is devoted to the inter-company trade union organization after the amendment to the Trade Union Act. The inter-company trade union organization is relatively rarely subject of studies in labour law. Usually it is considered that the arrangements made for the company trade union organizations relate also to intercompany trade union organisation. Meanwhile, a more detailed analysis shows that the inter-company trade union organization is characterized by far-reaching specificity, and its regulation based largely on references to regulations governing the legal status of the company trade union organization is not always adequate. This generates numerous practical problems. In this text, the author analyzes several particularly important issues regarding intercompany trade union organization in connection with the amendment to the Trade Union Act, which entered into force on January 1, 2019.
