Trade Unions in Poland
Law-Now Poland
19.03.2009
Although Poland has a strong trade union tradition, research carried out in 2007 revealed that only 12.8 percent of employees admitted being trade union members.
The main reason for this is that the employees do not really believe that trade unions can represent their interests or that their mediation is needed. Trade union officers appear to only care about their own interests and enjoy substantial privileges (they remain on companies’ payrolls, are protected against dismissal, etc.). The second reason is that the rights of trade unions are statutorily limited and there are few measures that they can use to effectively protect their members against company decisions in individual cases.
The manual covers the following issues related to trade unions:
- Most important legislation
- How is a trade union established in a company
- Cooperation with a trade union
- Collective dispute resolution
- Priviliges of trade union members
