On the Fundamental Human Rights Problems of a “Working Man” in Poland: Few Reflections

Abstract

The following research goal is to compare the state of research and scientific findings concerning the human rights of a “working man” in Poland and in France, with the use of a library search. After reviewing the French manuals on employment law it is known that the subject of the “working man’s” human rights is a subject which is common in the academic field there, subject to much attention (Dockes 2018). Even a cursory lecture of the legal bibliography entries confirms the weighty importance of the issue of human rights in labour law (Didry 2018, pp. 241–264). Meanwhile in Poland the state of research is saddening. Not only there are no studies, but there is even no academic discussion in the field, moreover, it is even actively avoided. Of course one has to ask: why? What is the reason for this approach of the Polish legal science to the key subject of “working man’s” human rights in Poland? These are the questions that I try to answer herein.
