In the opinion of the expert, a Deputy is not an employee and his/her function cannot be treated as a managerial or independent position within the meaning of labour law. Parliamentary salary is not a remuneration for work, and employment of Deputies and Senators does not take place within the scope of an employment relationship. It is a special type of employment called a “systemic” or “constitutional“ one.

Flexible forms of employment became the focus of attention both of practitioners and researchers in recent years. To popularize teleworking law regulations concerning telework were introduced in Poland in 2007. However, the attitude of the representatives of the labor market towards these regulations seems ambiguous. Moreover, the research shows that no significant increase in teleworking practice appeared. The study described in the article aimed at verifying to what extent the employers comply with the requirements and recommendations concerning teleworking included in the Labor Code. It was also intended to assess how the practice goes in line with the legislator's intentions and to indicate possible directions of changes in legislation to popularize telework. The research was based on a questionnaire filled in by employees of organizations using teleworking and on individual interviews with HR experts. The study confirms that there is a significant discrepancy between the national law on teleworking and the practice of the labor market. Only a few of the surveyed organizations used new regulations. Informal principles of regulating telework were dominant. It seems that the adopted solutions focus on the protection of employees, and not on encouraging employers to use this form of work organization, and in some areas even discouraging them. The analysis allows for concluding that although legislator has defined many objectives, neither the suggested measures nor the expected values accompany them. Therefore, one can presume that the primary goal to be achieved by the Legislature was a qualitative change, i.e., a significant popularization of telework. Unfortunately, the conducted research did not prove that such change has occurred.

The bill is an important step toward combining professional activity with family responsibilities. The opinion confirms that the bill considerably improves the organization of the work process and introduces significant changes in the sphere of rights related to parenthood, including leave pooling in order to provide care. Despite this positive assessment, the author points out that the bill does not constitute culmination of a long evolution of the provisions of Section VIII of the Labour Code and that the actions of the legislature should be more intensive.

Strajki stały się zjawiskiem dość częstym – są ostateczną formą protestu pracowników, domagających się poprawy płacy i warunków pracy. Celem artykułu jest analiza strajków na Litwie w XXI wieku. Badania zostały przeprowadzone na podstawie danych statystycznych Departamentu Statystyki Litwy. W artykule zastosowano metodę porównawczą wskaźników uzwiązkowienia z innymi krajami UE oraz przestrzennego zróżnicowania liczby strajków w okręgach kraju. Decyzje o strajku podejmują związki zawodowe. Litwa ma niskie wskaźniki udziału pracowników w związkach zawodowych, zaś prawo litewskie (Kodeks pracy) stawia wysokie wymagania wobec organizatorów strajku, stąd też w poszczególnych latach strajków nie było wcale albo było niewiele. Jednak w latach 2007-2008 przez cały kraj przeszła lawina strajków w oświacie. Nastąpił wzrost wynagrodzeń pracowników oświaty, jednak okazał się on krótkotrwały. Kolejna fala strajków w tej branży miała miejsce w latach 2014-2016, ale nie przyniosła efektów.

The aim of the article is to analyze strikes in Lithuania in the 21st century. Decisions on strike are made by trade unions. Lithuania has low employee participation rates in trade unions, while Lithuanian law (Labor Code) places high demands on the organizers of strikes. The Lithuanian economy collided with several large waves of strikes: in 2007-2008, 2014-2016 and in 2017. The first two waves of strikes were organized by trade unions of education workers and were partially successful. However, the strike situation is still ongoing. The last wave of strikes in 2017 was organized by trade unions of forestry workers and ended in fiasco. The most active districts were Telšiai and Klaipėda.
