| Title | Collective Agreements - with focus on Hungary, Romania and the Slovak Republic |
| Summary | The paper assesses the practicability of collective bargaining and collective agreements in Hungary, Romania and the Slovak Republic. The examined countries all have introduced modifications in their labour legislations recently, lowering the labour standards. In order to balance the social effects of the changes the best tool is collective bargaining, this view being embraced by the International Labour Organisation and the European Union. Through the comparison of the three legislations, by analysing the conclusion of collective agreements and different aspects of it, it is concluded that the inspected countries fail to recognize the social and economic importance of collective bargaining. They fulfil their international obligation of promoting collective bargaining only in a formal manner, without actual legislative provisions which promote practice. The long term implication of the findings is that Hungary, Romania and the Slovak Republic will have to face the same problems, which pushed them to lower the labour standards, because of the failure of promoting collective bargaining. |
