Draft Legislation Would Require Companies To Engage In Collective Bargaining

Draft legislation in Poland would expand the issues collective bargaining agreements can cover to include flexible work schedules and overtime and require large employers to engage in collective bargaining negotiations.

Employer Action Code: Monitor

A draft bill that would replace section XI of the Labor Code on collective bargaining aims to "revive collective bargaining practice and increase the scope of application of agreements" by, among other things, requiring certain companies to engage in collective bargaining. The proposal includes a broad list of matters that collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) may cover and establishes maximum durations for new and existing CBAs.
