The role of the trade union in collective bargaining in the public sector

Magistrska naloga obravnava sindikalno pravo s poudarkom na vlogi sindikata pri ustvarjanju novega plačnega sistema v javnem sektorju in vlogi sindikata pri sklepanju Kolektivne pogodbe za javni sektor (KPJS).Mogoče je ugotoviti, da s področja kolektivnega dogovarjanja v javnem sektorju v naši zakonodaji obstajajo pravne praznine, zato so predlagane tiste spremembe in dopolnitve zakonodaje, ki so se pokazale kot potrebne ob izvrševanju KPJS v času gospodarske krize. Dopolnjena in strokovno utemeljena zakonodaja bi pripomogla k večji zaščiti sindikatov in okrepitvi njihove vloge v procesu kolektivnega dogovarjanja v zvezi s plačami v javnem sektorju.This master thesis considers trade union law stressing the role of a trade union in establishing new salary system in the public sector as well as its role in adopting the Collective Agreement for Public Sector (CAPS).Additionally, I have found out that there are legal gaps in the field of collective bargaining in public sector in Slovenian legislation. Regarding this matter, changes and amendments are proposed to the legislation, which had proved necessary during the execution of the CAPS in the period of economic crisis. Amended and expertly established legislation would contribute to stronger protection of trade unions as well as reinforcement of their role in the process of collective bargaining with regard to salaries in the public sector
