Diskriminacija na radu – zakonodavstvo i iskustva SAD

Author(s): Mario Reljanović / Language(s): Serbian Issue: 1/2009

Faced with various forms of discrimination of some vulnerable groups in the sphere of employment, working relations and working condition, USA started in 1960’s to shape up antidiscrimination system in employment practices. During last four decades, the system grew and evolved, with continuous adoptions of new pieces of legislation. Central organ in proceedings for elimination and punishing of discrimination practices is independent body elected by the President of the USA and Senat, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). EEOC practice, as well as the judiciary practice of competent district courts, led to broad interpretation of the regulation and evolution of the perception of the discrimination phenomenon, as well as to highly rigorous system for punishing employers whom discriminated their employees. However, this system present some obvious shortcomings, since the discrimination rate over last two decades stays equally high, while employment discrimination hasn’t been eradicated even in the fields of sex, racial and ethnic discrimination, which were the first vulnerable groups to be protected by the antidiscrimination laws. Also, in recent years significant attention is dedicated to education of both employers and employees, as the most efficient way to prevent employment discrimination practice of developing at the first place. This paper tries to make an overview of all these different aspects of employment discrimination and various ways of its prevention and suppression, but also to make some valuable lessons for the future Serbian legislation in this area.

Залучення профспілок до здійснення нагляду і контролю за додержанням законодавства про працю у період установлення радянської влади в Україні

Author(s): H. V. Terela / Language(s): Ukrainian Issue: 139/2017

In the article, on the basis of the conducted analysis of the resolutions, instructions, subtitles of the People’s Commissariat of Labor of the UkrSSR, the memoranda of the local departments of labor as well known and for the first time discovered in the archival funds, it was determined that the factory and plant committees and local service committees, being primary centers of All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions, served as a low authority to legislation on labor legislation maintenance. For this purpose, under the factory committees and trade unions permanent commissions were established for labor protection. The order of the involvement of trade unions to the election of labor (legal), out of district and sanitary labor inspectors, controllers of the People’s Committee of state control is analyzed. It was clarified that in practice the involvement of trade unions in the activity of supervision and control bodies in the field of labor was not as active as it was decreed, and was partially replaced by the party representation. It is confirmed that due to proclaimed at the tenth congress of the Russian Communist Party (Bolsheviks) the necessity of full transfer of functions on labor protection from the People’s Commissariat of Labor to the All-Russian Central Council of Trade Unions, the Labor inspectorate joined the board of trade unions with the preservation of all its state-compulsory functions, including control over the implementation of labor service, the fight against desertion. It is concluded that after the events of 1917, trade unions lost the role of antipodes of state power and began to play the role of its active ally, which stemmed from the class nature of the state of the proletariat, which was declared as a defender of the interests of workers.

A New Function of Prison Industry and Private Prisons in Developed Countries, and the Possibility of their Implementation in the Republic of Serbia

Author(s): Emil Turković / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

In the 1990s, various countries had a different approach to the problems related to prisoners’ labor. In the United States, the concept of prison labor could survive only in such developed states as New York, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts which could cope with the burden of keeping unproductive prisons. Under the impact of the penal reform and upon the adoption of new penal legislation in these states, the old American tradition of labor prisons gave way to a new standard which implied that convicted offenders had to learn different crafts while in prison but they were excluded from the public labor market when at large. The new industrial program, which was thus engendered, has significantly contributed to spreading the reformist functions of prison labor. Organized prison labor had always been strongly supported by penal reformers in the north of the United States but, in the mid-1980s, as the penal reformers moved away from that part of the United States, the concept of organized prison labor no longer had a significant political and legislative impact. The influence of penal reformers and the idea of instituting convict labor (but without competition in the labor market) had a strong influence on government politicians both at the federal and state government levels. The reformers endeavored to ensure the prisoners’ welfare and enable all prisoners to work and participate in the labor market as competitive workforce, both by leasing their labor and through the sale of final products on the free market.

Długoterminowa umowa o pracę na czas określony

Author(s): Michał Kacprzyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 1/2014

One of the main provisions in shaping legal obligations between the parties is the freedom of contract. Although the parties are free to choose the provisions of their agreement, the content and the aim of the contract cannot contradict the essence and nature of the contract of employment, the act and the principles of the community life. Thereby, in order to engage an employee based on a long term contract of employment for a specified period, along with a short, two weeks notice termination period, justified and rational presumptions should be in place. In other words, taking into consideration current provisions of law, long term contract of employment is acceptable; however its validity is depended on the circumstances of each individual case.

Insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases: the EU regulation and case law

Author(s): Valentina Ranaldi / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2017

The matter of accidents at work and occupational diseases, as the subject of insurance protection, falls within the aims of various EU rules. This is part of a more general interest of the European Union’s legislator and judges for safety and health in the workplace. In this regard, the present paper aims at analyzing the capacity for the implementation and development of an occupational safety and health management approach in the European Union. The analysis is conducted through the examination of the European legal framework governing the matter, as well as the most recent and relevant case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union on insurance and compensation of damages for accidents at work and occupational diseases. From this research an effort emerges, at the European level, to ensure safety and health standards. However, such efforts are inadequate with respect to a constantly changing labour market, characterized by less and less stable employment relationships, new working patterns and an ageing workforce. Nor are all the people concerned by those changes adequately covered by the existing health, safety and insurance legislation, as well as the increasing number of temporary workers and workers with atypical contracts.
