K nové úpravě stávky ve Svazové republice Jugoslávie
The article discusses the new strike law recently adopted in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, which is part of a broader legislative package related to business regulations. The law defines a strike as a work stoppage organized by employees to protect their professional and economic interests. It includes provisions for different types of strikes, such as warning strikes, and outlines the rules for organizing and conducting strikes, protecting participants, and resolving theoretical questions about the right to strike. Special attention is given to the role of state authorities as mediators and supervisors during negotiations. The law emphasizes the protection of both striking and non-striking employees and ensures that participation in a legal strike does not result in job termination, except for certain public sector employees. It also mandates that employers cannot hire new workers during a strike unless necessary to prevent harm or ensure minimal operations in critical sectors. The law specifies additional requirements for activities in the public interest or those where work stoppage could endanger life, health, or cause significant damage. Violations of the law can result in fines for both employers and employees. The article highlights the importance of balancing the rights of employees and employers during strikes.
