The main problems of CBA negotiations
 Changes in Labour Code ( from July 1)
 Earlier: the collective bargaining rights of the Union depended
on the election outcome of Works Council
/ The Union had to at least 10 % of the total votes /
 Now: The Union members must account for at least 10 % of
the total employees of company.
 More flexibility for employers.
 Less benefits to the employees.
 Rules for publicly owned companies are negatives in LC
 Recession.
 Tax and earning policy of the Government
