Legal opinion on the conformity with Polish Constitution of the provision, contained in the Government bill amending the Act – Law on Higher Education and other acts (Sejm Paper No. 2085), namely Article 1 (87) concerning the repeal in Article 152 paras. 1 and 2, in the context of the constitutional rights of trade unions to conclude collective labour agreements referred to in Article 59 para. 2 of the Constitution

This opinion provides a constitutional analysis of the powers of the minister competent for higher education to enter into multi-employer collective agreements in relation to employees of public universities. The opinion points out that the bill does not deprive unions representing employees of universities of the right to conclude a collective agreement, but only eliminates the special procedure for concluding such agreements from legal transactions
