Summary

The changes to be made by the draft law on the amendment of the Collective Labor Dispute Resolution Act concern the notice period for support strikes and the provisions related to the institution of the national conciliator, in order to resolve the situation where it is not possible to appoint a national conciliator. According to the bill, the notice period for a support strike will be extended from three working days to five working days. According to the decision of the Supreme Court of March 5, 2015, collective the three-day notice period for support strikes stipulated in the Labor Dispute Resolution Act is contrary to the Constitution, as such a short notice period unreasonably limits the freedom of entrepreneurship. According to the bill, the process of selecting and appointing the National Conciliator will be changed. The central confederations of employers and trade unions must agree on the candidate of the national conciliator, similar to the current procedure. As a new requirement, it is provided that the agreement must be achieved no later than three months before the end of the term of office of the national conciliator. If the central unions do not reach an agreement by the deadline, the Ministry of Social Affairs will organize a public competition to find a candidate for the national conciliator. If the public competition also fails, the candidate for the national conciliator is presented to the government by the minister responsible for the field. Due to an unregulated situation where the national conciliator is temporarily unable to perform his duties to fulfill, then the institution of the deputy national conciliator - adviser is created to conduct the conciliation procedure. The requirements to be submitted to the national conciliator, as well as provisions regarding the end of the term of office of the national conciliator and the offices of the national conciliator, are added to the law.
