	The amendment to the trade union act, which entered into force on January 1, 2019, has undoubtedly made the most far-reaching changes in collective labour law since at least the late 1980s and early 1990s. One of the structures that has undergone transformations is the representativeness of trade unions at various levels. At the same time, the legislator amended the Act on the settlement of collective disputes, however, he has not decided to introduce representativeness to it as one of the requirements for conducting a collective dispute. The study is intended to attempt to answer the question whether this abstinence is justified or whether further changes to this act should be postulated, including in terms of taking into account the diversity of rights of trade union structures due to having representativeness.
