Summary/Abstract: Act No. 65/1965 Coll., The Labor Code, was an important milestone in the development of labor law legislation, as it is the first comprehensive codification of labor law. The Code combined effectively labor legislation in the whole Czechoslovakia and replaced the previous fragmented and obsolete legislation. The final form of the Code and as well the modification of labor relations has been considered for a long time because of the importance of such relations on the existential background of workers, but also on the economic situation of the country. Nevertheless, the relations that the Code newly regulated were based on the previous legislation, since they were concluded under the validity and force of this legislation. One of the aims of this work is therefore examine a false retroactivity. Another aim is also to define how these examined changes in the Labor Code are related to the “socialist” constitution of 1960.
