Summary/Abstract: In doctrine and jurisprudence, the prevailing view is that employers are not obliged to disclose to trade unions, at their request and within the framework of trade union monitoring of compliance with the law, information on employee wages. According to the 1993 resolution of the panel of seven judges of the Supreme Court, an employer may disclose such information, but only with the employee’s consent. Otherwise, the personal right of the person performing the work may be infringed. Such an opinion is not convincing. It stands in clear opposition to the law in force. It also leads to depriving the trade union organisation of the right to carry out systemic control of the employer’s compliance with the principle of equal remuneration for equal work or work of equal value (Art. 18(3c) of the Labour Code).
