Straipsnyje nagrinėjamos Lenkijos darbo įstatymų kodekso normos, reglamentuojančios kolektyvines sutartis, ir galimybės išplėsti jų galiojimą kitų subjektų atžvilgiu (ergą omnes). Paskutinė straipsnio dalis skiriama Lenkijos darbo kodekse numatytiems kolektyvinių sutarčių reguliavimo sferos apribojimams, siūlomi iš to kylančioms problemoms spręsti reikalingi Darbo kodekso pakeitimai. Autorius daro išvadą, kad, nepaisant nedidelių trūkumų, kolektyvinės sutartys Lenkijoje iš esmės yra taikytinos įgyvendinant ES darbo teisės normas.
The 1967 Single European Act and the Union Treaty signed in Maastricht on February 7, 1992, brought to light the idea of social dialogue and its potential within two areas: the regulation and the implementation of European labour law. As an effect of this legislative development, collective agreements became an important part of the effective enforcement of the EC legal order. It is quite clear that newly developed legislative measures, called "bargaining in the shadow of legislation"1 by European labour lasers, were adopted with the sole purpose of overcoming the regulatory crises caused by member states of the European Union trying their best to develop two speed limits within the European social space. European collective bargaining was discovered to be an alternative technique for implementing those secondary sources of European labour law which the governments of the member states of the European Union were reluctant to implement. The collective bargaining process is perceived by the European Community as an Iimportant alternative to the legislative process. This paper deals with the major question of whether or not the post-socialists' current collective bargain procedures are effective as a means to implement European labour law in one of the prospective member states - Poland.
