4 Facts & figures overal unionisation in the Czech Republic – 22%
collective bargaining coverage – 26,5% no strict representativity criteria (3 members can create a union) Source: Dublin Foundation

5 Bipartite social dialogue in transport
informal regular meetings invitation to congresses, annual assemblies etc. formal „higher-level“ (= branch) collective agreements – both OSD (2009 – 2012) and DOSIA with SDČR = minimum standards

6 Role of state bodies validity of sectoral collective agreements can be extended to companies (even non-union) > 20 workers competent authority = Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs

7 Sectoral social dialogue topics (example of RT)
public transport subsidies driving and rest time infrastructure financing tax reform rise in pension age vocational training of drivers

8 Challenges for the future
workers‘ representation system reforms unions traditionally stronger in (ex-) state-owned companies, but weaker in private companies / new entrants (ex. logistics – DHL, FedEx) lack of interest of younger generation plans to prohibit strike in certain sectors / minimum service obligation new government reforms (tax, pensions)

9 Interaction national áâ EU level
very important!!! ( % of legislation directly or indirectly from Brussels) employers: SDČR involved in IRU and social dialogue on EU level unions: OSD involved in RT and CA social dialogue on EU level
