DECLARATION
Central Trade Union Councils
of 17 September 1968
on collective agreements
According to Article 21 of the Labour Code No. 65 / 1965 Coll., in agreement with the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the central committees of trade unions, the Central Council of Trade Unions provides:
Conclusion of collective agreements
1. Collective agreements shall be concluded in all economic, budgetary and contribution organisations of the corporate sphere, if the membership meeting or conference of delegates of the basic organization of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement so decides. Collective agreements or agreements may also be concluded between the authorities of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement and the competent authorities in the supranational sphere.
2. The collective agreement is concluded between the management of the organisation (body) and the collective of workers represented by the body of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement.
3. The length of the period to which a collective agreement is concluded, its amendments or additions or, where appropriate, its extension, shall be agreed by both Parties according to specific conditions and needs.
4. Collective agreements and additions thereto shall be concluded in writing.
5. The preparation and conclusion of a collective agreement shall not be dependent on the preparation and adoption of the business plan. As a general rule, the Contracting Parties shall carry them out in advance of the dates of the planning work, so that the mutual commitments entered into by the collective agreement actively affect the design of the plan. Similarly, the conclusion of collective agreements or agreements in the supranational sphere is also carried out.
Content of collective agreements
1. The subject of the contractual arrangements shall be issues of mutual relations between the Contracting Parties arising from participation in social work which are governed by law or other general legislation only as a framework or are not regulated by them at all.
2. The collective agreement contains provisions on the division and creation of pensions, in particular agreements on its application to wages, the further development of the organisation and the cultural, social and other needs of workers.
3. In the field of material interest, the collective agreement shall include in particular:
(a) agreed wage and salary increases for each category of worker and the principles of differentiation between categories and within categories;
(b) provisions on agreed changes to wage forms, performance standards and premium regulations;
(c) specific adjustments to those wage provisions which, under the applicable rules, fall within the competence of organisations concluding collective agreements;
(d) the principles governing the distribution of shares in the economic performance of the internal services and the organisation as a whole, and the principles governing the provision of extraordinary remuneration and remuneration from the Fund;
(e) addressing the consequences of changes in earnings that result from the expected implementation of rationalisation measures, the introduction of new techniques and the abolition of inefficient operations;
(f) provisions on the distribution of the wage fund in budgetary organisations.
4. In the field of working and living conditions, the collective agreement shall specify the social programme of the organisation:
(a) aim in particular at improving the working environment and humanisation of work, ensuring health and safety at work, in particular at eliminating the harmful effects of manufacturing or operating activities, improving health, hygiene and social facilities and providing personal protective equipment;
(b) ensure other social and cultural conditions, respecting, on the basis of specific tasks set by economic management, the specific needs and interests of the various groups of workers, in particular women and youth;
(c) to this end, it shall include provisions on the amount of the allocation of funds to the Fund for Cultural and Social Needs (Incentivised Fund) and its budget.
5. By mutual agreement of the Contracting Parties, measures related to the participation of an organisation in territorial problems (construction, expansion, maintenance and use of corporate or social cultural, social, health and other facilities for workers and other citizens) may also be included in the collective agreement.
6. The collective agreement contains provisions on the manner in which it will be made public and on how workers will be able at any time to familiarise themselves with it and with the applicable wage and other provisions to which the individual collective agreement provisions are directly related.
Legal binding of collective agreements
1. The collective agreement becomes binding on both Parties by approving the membership meetings or conferences of delegates of the basic organization of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement and by signing representatives of both Parties. The legal effectiveness of the obligations contained in the collective agreement shall begin on the first day of the period for which the collective agreement is concluded, unless otherwise specified therein.
2. Where the obligations relating to working and wage conditions give rise to claims on individual workers, they shall be recovered as other claims on employment.
3. A collective agreement shall, as a general rule, contain a means of penalising non-compliance with other obligations and provide that disputes arising from non-compliance with such obligations shall be dealt with by the Conciliation Body to which the Contracting Parties agree. If such an agreement is not reached, the IV General Trade Union Meeting on the racing committees of the basic organisations of the Revolutionary Trade Union Movement shall be followed by a resolution of the national trade union conference in May 1965 (Annex to the Labour Code).
Control of collective agreements
1. The performance of a collective agreement shall be controlled by both Parties in the manner set out in the collective agreement.
2. The trade union organisation shall, through its assets, check that the conditions for fulfilling all obligations under the collective agreement are being established, in particular those accepted by the trade union for the benefit and for the collective of workers.
3. The amendments or additions adopted on the basis of the conclusions of the ongoing control of the collective agreement shall become part of it; the conclusions and findings of the control are usually one of the basis for preparing a collective agreement for the next period.
Final provisions
In agreement with the central authorities, the central trade union committees may, in particular, define in more detail the content of collective agreements in relation to the specific needs and conditions of each sector and sector.
They shall be deleted:
1. Decree No. 3 / 1967 Coll., which is published by the Central Council of Trade Unions on the conclusion, registration and control of collective agreements;
2. Decree No. 61 / 1968 Coll., amending the Directive on the Conclusion, Registration and Control of Collective Contracts published by Decree No. 3 / 1967 Coll.
This decree shall take effect on the day of its publication.
