Filip, Jan ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Szobi, Pavel (referee)
In my master thesis I focus on the effect of World War 1 on labour unions power in the United States of America. The goal is to answer these questions: What factors influenced position of labour unions at the beginning of the 20th century? How did the position of labour unions change during World War I? World War I was already a second experience with war economy in the history of the USA (remember American Civil War). For the first time, though, labour unions played important role in the American economy. I have decided to analyze the effect of World War I on position of labour unions because I consider it an important one. In Chapter one I will analyze the influence of war inflation on real wages of employees and on the ratio between wages of union workers and non-union workers. Chapter two is dedicated to labour conditions (social programs, safety, unemployment benefits) and to their modifications which took place because of World War I. Chapter three is about labour legislation development (regulation of hours and wages, yellow dog contracts, anti-trust and immigration legislation) and its adjustments during the war years. In the Conclusion I sum up all the evidence and evaluate the influence of the World War I on the labour unions and their members.

Labor market in the USA on the turn of 19th century
Filip, Jan ; Tajovský, Ladislav (advisor) ; Krček, Matěj (referee)
My Bachelor work is devoted to the problems of deformations of labor market under the influence of institutions such as labor unions, federal government of the US and a judicial power. Most importantly it aspires to answer questions as: Why do employees join labor unions? Are labor unions beneficial for the economy? Do the government regulations have anticipated results? I consider this field of economics to be ever actual and very important. First of all I will make an effort to identify what made the workers join the unions, what ways the employers implied to prevent them and if union activities could be marked as economically beneficial. After that I will try to analyze government interventions into the labor market, at what extent they were successful and what their true intentions were if different to the proclaimed ones. In the last part I will make use of the American Federation of Labor as a case study. I will point out the reasons why it did not fall apart in contrast to other labor unions, resp. role it was fulfilling and the development of it intercrossing with politics and its relations towards government interferences. In conclusion I will attempt to summarize the consequences of the activities of unions, employers and government on the labor market.

Trade unions and collective bargaining
Pavlíková, Gabriela ; Brožová, Dagmar (advisor) ; Mikuláštík, Robert (referee)
Trade union movement is a part of modern society; it has participated in its forming and still has considerable influence. Trade unions have gone through difficult development and their membership has been diminishing lately, what can be explained especially by demographical influences, restructuralization of industry and growing tendency of population to solve important problems by themselves. Unions are respected partner in the process of collective bargaining and how the findings from the union contracts and the information sent by the trade unionists show, they are very powerful players in many areas. Although the information about modern bargaining models hasn't been recognized yet, trade unionists act pragmatically, target especially the question of wages and other benefits and rely upon the bargaining abilities of their leaders. Trade unions offer a great level of protection to all their members and other employees, but their activities have significant negative effects. They monopolize the work supply and hence cause rigidity of wages and structural unemployment, they support privileged groups of workers and these compelled benefits then reflect in the prices of products and services. Its activities thus inhibit efficient allocation of workforce and induce significant social consequences. Faced with international competition, Europe has to make an important decision about the level of sociability in the market system, what can be in near future influenced by deeper understanding of the necessity of changes. To that can contribute information from economic background and in longer horizon probably also the new generation with looser approach to solidarity.
