16. Current legislative development of TOP
On March 16, 2016, a finding of the Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic preventing further extending of commitment to higher level collective agreements was published.
The Constitutional Court of the Slovak Republic has decided that the institute proper of extending of commitment to higher level collective agreements complies with the Slovak law, however, the selected process method based on voluntary decision making of the minister of labor is not constitutionally compliant.
An amendment to the Collective Bargaining Act that should rectify the legal shortcomings objected to is in preparation (the estimated date of entry into force is March 1, 2017).

17. Current legislative development
The amendment provides the criteria for assessment of concluded higher level collective agreements if they are to be extended (introduction of so-called automatic extending).
Term “representative higher level collective agreement” is being introduced – commitment to such a collective agreement may be extended (the purpose is to restrict the so-called “yellow” trade unions).
The amendment puts an emphasis also on representativeness of the social partners, in particular trade unions, where the existence of a parent organization and enterprise collective agreement of a particular employer is required as a proof of representativeness.

18. Situation in the individual trade unions

19. For year 2017, OZ KOVO will be collectively bargaining one new higher level collective agreement (glass industry) and 5 supplements adjusting wages (road transportation, mechanical industry, metallurgical and electrical industries, services).
Proposals for adjustment of wages of employees will concentrate on the minimum wage increase in and on the situation in individual economy sectors.
Tariff wages development contained in higher level collective agreements in correlation with the average wage in the industry is graphically depicted in a separate slide.

agree on and enter into collective agreements with all entities-employers that have the fundamental organization of the IOZ established,
ensure a wage increase through collective bargaining, reflecting the increase of work productivity, employees‘ cost of living and employment rate maintenance,
on the IOZ level, provide professional, methodological and legal aid to ZO upon collective bargaining.
