Summary/Abstract: Freedom of association has its origins in an idea of civil society. The civil society with long and complex history becomes a fundamental element in a nowa- days discourse on a well governed state.The tendency of unions to engage in political activity, whose main players are the political parties, should be considered as a trend common, conditioned in many countries historically. There is no doubt, however, that the direct participation of unions in political activities may be raised a lot of controversy from the point of view of their basic goals and tasks as independent social organizations established to represent and defend the rights and interests of workers.
