Trade union plurality at an employer
Kalina, Vojtěch ; Tomšej, Jakub (advisor) ; Pichrt, Jan (referee)
Trade union plurality at an employer Abstract In this thesis I deal with the issue of trade union plurality at an employer. In the thesis I describe the role of trade unions and the development of the legal regulation of their plurality. In doing so, I analyse the conclusions of the Constitutional Court expressed in the ruling Pl. ÚS 83/06 and its implications for current and possible future legislation. I also describe the problematic aspects of the current legislation in this area. These problems concern both the representation of non-unionised employees in individual matters and, in particular, collective bargaining. The aim of the thesis was to try to suggest possible options for solving the current unsatisfactory state of the legislation. The thesis analyses three basic options for dealing with trade union plurality in the context of collective bargaining. These are the introduction of the majority principle in some form, the involvement of employees by way of voting, and allowing for the existence of multiple collective agreements at a single employer. Changing the conditions for starting of functioning of a trade union at an employer is mentioned as an additional option. Finally, I discuss the possibility of addressing problematic aspects in the context of a situation where a trade union is to...

The Role of Trade Unions in Protecting Employees' Interests
HARTINGER, Dominik
The main goal of this thesis is the description of the activities executed by trade unions. Trade unions represent an important aspect of labor relations and can have a crucial influence on working conditions. The legislation of the Czech Republic lacks a comprehensive legal regulation regarding trade unions, which leads to general confusion. One of the points of focus of this work is the exploration of the general opinion of employees on trade unions and its comparison with their actual scope. Questionnaires together with controlled interviews with employers and unionists are used as the main source of information. The results of this thesis show that the majority of employees perceive trade unions positively, even though they cannot characterize their activities. The outcomes also point to the importance of work safety as one of the main interests of the unionists as well as the impact of economic trends on collective bargaining.

The effect of the World War 1 on the labour union activity in the USA
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.
