Today trade unions are not created with most employers in Poland (especially small and medium-sized ones). Vast numbers of employees are deprived not only of trade union representation but also of non-union representation, which significantly limits the benefits gained from collective negotiations and other institutions of collective labour law. Another alarming issue is also the marginalization of organizations of private employers in the establishment of collective agreements, thus resulting in political lobbying and other measures influencing legislative decisions of the government bodies being the main method of protecting employers interests in the area of employment relations. Our country did not take advantage of a historic chance to restore the full significance of collective labour agreements. The replacement of collective labour agreements with union contracts and rules of remuneration also contributes to a diminished significance of collective labour agreements. Moreover, the former acts are not subject to registration and legality control. Therefore, the concept of a developed system of collective labour agreements is waiting for implementation in Poland, where as a rule there are no subject and object limitations.
