The government is presenting for consultation a proposal to restore collective redress in the event of illegal employment.

Draft Act on Collective Investigation for Consultation

Class action lawsuits give unions the right to sue for illegal employment. Trade unions can sue on their own behalf if they believe there has been a breach of hiring laws in companies that hired workers from recruiting firms.

- The government is clear that we want to restore the right to a lawsuit. Breaking the hiring rules should be punished. This will be the first step to eliminate dishonest actors, says Minister of Labor and Social Integration Hadia Tajik.

- Surveys and investigations show hiring violations. Collective law of action will help in greater compliance with the provisions on illegal employment, says the Minister of Labor and Social Integration.

- Employment and temporary jobs that replace permanent employment result in greater differences in working life. They also make people feel insecure. That is why it is important to take action immediately, says the minister.

The government will abolish general access to temporary jobs in the Working Environment Act

Earlier it was announced that the government would abolish general access to temporary jobs under the Working Environment Act. In addition to restoring collective redress, this is the first of several measures the government will take to give workers more power.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs is now sending the draft law on collective inquiry for consultation, with the consultation deadline on December 14.
