Prawo do sprawiedliwych warunków pracy jako implementacja zasady sprawiedliwości w Europejskiej Karcie Społecznej
The right to just conditions of work as the implementation of the concept of justice in European Social Charter

Summary/Abstract: The right to just remuneration has been introduced to Polish Labour Code as one of the fundamental principles of the protection of workers. However, the lack of the legal definition makes it necessary in the course of its interpretation to reach for international acts. Art. 4 of the European Social Charter as one of the fundamental rights of the worker determines the right to a just compensation, that would guarantee a decent standard of living. The Polish regulation of the right to decent remune- ration, however, does not correspond to the level of justice set out in international standards. Taking into account the criteria set by the International Labour Organisa- tion and the Committee of Independent Experts, the Polish law on the minimum wage should be commented critically, because the current level of minimal wage does not guarantee an adequate standard of living for workers.
