dc.abstract.enThe strike is among the basic means of trade union protection of employees’ interests. Without the right to strike, employees would often be unable to obtain certain concessions from employers. The right to strike derives from a number of international documents, including: the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, the European Social Charter, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, International Labour Organisation Convention No. 87 concerning Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise. The right to strike is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Poland. Pursuant to Article 59 point 3 of the Constitution, trade unions have the right to organise labour strikes and other forms of protest within the limits set by law. For the sake of the public good, a law may restrict the conduct of a strike or prohibit it with respect to certain categories of workers or in certain areas. In Polish law the rules for conducting a strike are regulated in the Act of May 23, 1991 on the Resolution of Collective Disputes. Pursuant to the aforementioned Act, a strike is a measure of last resort and cannot be declared without first exhausting peaceful means of resolving the dispute, i.e. bargaining and mediation. This article addresses the issue whether the right to strike can be considered as a human right, and if so, whether it is a fundamental right.
