Prawo do strajku w świetle Konwencji o Ochronie Praw Człowieka i Podstawowych Wolności
Right to strike under the European Convention on Human Rights

Summary/Abstract: This article gives an overview of the European Convention of Human Right’s protection of the right to collective action. It is very important to underline that European Convention does not express directly the right to strike. However, the right to strike is expressly recognized only in the European Social Charter. Art. 11 ECHR states only that everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests. But two recent rulings by the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) state that the exercise of the right to form and join trade unions includes the right to collective bargaining and the right to strike. With these cases the ECtHR found guidance with the ILO standards and followed its recommendations and jurisprudence. It should be added that the right to strike is not explicitly mentioned that there is no clear guarantee of the right to strike in the ILO Constitution or Conventions.
