Vplyv odborov na trh práce vo vybraných zemiach OECD
Rajniaková, Veronika
Rajniakova, V. The impact of trade unions on labour market in selected OECD countries. Bachelor thesis. Brno: Mendel University, 2018. The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is to define and examine the relationship which exists between trade unions and labour market indicators, with the emphasis on unemployment. On the basis of defined indicators representing trade unions’ power, the economic impact of trade unions is analysed, which is rather ambiguous according to various studies and so effect of trade unions on labour market can vary in different countries. Results of empiric analysis of panel data, which were obtained and presented in the second part of thesis, validate the fact that relationship between trade unions and unemployment is different for particular groups of countries based on the type of their social system where power of trade unions is distinct from one another.

Cancelation of the visa duty for Ukraine and its impact on the Czech Republic
Vondráčková, Dominika ; Mlejnek, Josef (advisor) ; Landovský, Jakub (referee)
The association agreement between EU and Ukraine includes visa liberalization, which brings concerns about the capability of absorbing the increasing migration of Ukrainian citizens in the Czech Republic. The theses aims at showing realistic state of affairs especially through statistics and interviews with members of crucial interest groups connected to migration process. The text is demonstrating that number of Ukrainians in the Czech Republic is significantly raising, but we cannot consider this raise as intractable. The increase directly connected with visa liberalization can be clearly demonstrated at the number of tourists. Looking at the number of asylum applications, growth was not noted which is considered as sign of well-managed liberalization of migration. Significant changes cannot be seen also in the statistics of illegal migration. Nevertheless, members of foreign police agree that they observe increase of illegal Ukrainians but do not have the capacities to arrest them and register as illegal in the statistics. Visa liberalization is not the only reason of the increase of Ukrainians in the Czech Republic. Major influence is the overall socio-economic situation of both countries and especially extremely low unemployment in the Czech Republic, which creates pressure to the employers...

The world of work through the perspective of state, labour unions and employers. Building a hegemony.
Němec, Lukáš ; Lánský, Ondřej (advisor) ; Májíček, Jan (referee)
(in English): During adolescence, a person's value orientations towards society, employment, and the economy are being shaped significantly. The educational system plays an important role in this maturing of a person's values in that it provides key social orientation in the form of knowledge, consciousness, or opinions. The theory of cultural and social reproduction was among the first analyses of critical education that drew attention to the fact that this mediation of orientation serves for the maintaining (reproduction) of social inequalities in society. The basic question of education according to these analyses of critical education thus is not what knowledge we get at school, but rather whose knowledge. In the Czech Republic, ca. 73% of pupils go through secondary vocational training. After graduation, most of these pupils are the first to enter the world of paid labor at a relatively early age. Between 2004 and 2012, intermediate vocational training underwent a change of system in the form of the implementation of curriculum reform in connection with the adoption of Act No. 561 / 2004 Coll. on Preschool, Elementary, Secondary, Tertiary Vocational, and Other Education. Curriculum reform enabled various social agents to influence the goals and content of education at the national level...

Transformations of the British Labour Party in the 1980s
Prošková, Nikola ; Soukup, Jaromír (advisor) ; Říchová, Blanka (referee)
The bachelor thesis deals with detailed characteristic of the transformation of the british Labour Party in 1979 - 1994. The core of the work is to provide a deep insight into organizational and personal structure of the party and to analyse party's policy statements. The 1979 ended Labour Party's government performance for a long time. The aim of this work is to observe organizational as well as ideological changes by which the party reacts to its own unsatisfactory electoral results. Finding the reasons why approved modifications did not help the party to win general elections is absolutely crucial. The period before 1979 including the description of international situation and electoral change is described in the opening part to outline initial conditions of further observed stretch of time. Afterwards particular periods between general elections are presented themselves. A full image of problems pursuing labours between 1979 and 1994 is given by analysing manifestos, organization of the party, development of pre-election campaigns and public opinion. The one of the main cause leading to the long-term lack of success was voter's displeasing experience with the last government of the Labour Party. Economic problems profoundly connected with the stagflation, repeated strikes and culminating into...

Kližanová, Júlia ; Váška, Jan (advisor) ; Kasáková, Zuzana (referee)
In this thesis the author is concerned with relationship between trade unions and the Edward Heath government from 1970 to 1974. This thesis will be also concerned with period of time before the Edward Heath government. It will be describing the development of relationship between post-war governments and trade unions. The author will be describing the Labour party government (1945-51), Conservative party government (1951-64) and again the Labour party government (1964-70). We can divide the period of Conservative party government into two parts. During the first one, which is set between 1970 to 1972, the government was trying to change the post-war consensus and undermine the influence of trade unions. During this period the main part of legislation was introduced, which was aimed to improve the relationship with trade unions and limit its influence. Then the thesis will be concerned with miners strike in 1972, which led to the change of governments policy. It will be also describing the last years of the government. During these years the government was not able to challenge the demands of trade unions, as well, the bad economic situation. The most important event of this period was again miners strike in 1974, which led to the fall of Conservative party government. The aim of this thesis will...

Trade unions - driving force or a brake of the Treadmill of Production?
Jirovská, Lea ; Novák, Arnošt (advisor) ; Slačálek, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis is dealing with types of discourse of the Treadmill of prduction, that are used by Czech confederation of trade unions. In the first part of the text is the description of the theory of the Treadmill of Production and of the roles ot the three acters of the so called growth colaition, which are Labour, Capital and State. In the following part of my work I defined three types of discourse of the Treadmill of Production. The first two are dominant and I named them Competition discourse and Solidarity discourse. They both support the Treadmill of production. The third discourse uses less, it is called Revolution discouse and is used to opose the Treadmill of production. Those three types of discourse are applied in topics of teh flexibilization of work, the technological change, and the environment.

The Social and Political Regulation of Labour Migration: The Case of the Czech Republic
Čaněk, Marek ; Barša, Pavel (advisor) ; Kostelecký, Tomáš (referee) ; Woolfson, Charles (referee)
This dissertation is about the changes in the regulation of labour migration in the Czech Republic, specifically between the period of economic boom in 2007 and 2008 and the beginning of the global economic and financial crisis. The developments of labour migration processes and policies were studied in relation to the political economy of foreign direct investment and the rise of the competition state in the Czech Republic. The materialisation of these developments resulted in the Czech Republic's further integration into the global labour market. Labour migration policy changes in the case of the Green Card project, however, did not confirm the thesis that the Czech Republic's migration policy eventually became subordinated to the competition state project. Not only did the Ministry of Industry and Trade lack bureaucratic capital in the field of migration regulation but also, there were tensions between different notions of the competition state project while 'migration management' was reorganised in the interest of the Ministry of the Interior. Closely following struggles over the regulation of labour migration in the administrative and political fields, this dissertation contributes to literature on the labour migration perspective of the competition state. The migration crisis is studied from...
