Summary/Abstract: The Constitutional Tribunal stated in June 2015 that Article 2(1) of the Trade Unions Act, to the extent, in which it restricts rights to form and join trade unions of workers not mentioned in this Article is inconsistent with the Constitution. The Trade Unions Act was amended in July 2018 to adapt it to the new legal situation after the judgement of the Constitutional Tribunal. Among the amended provisions were those of Article 251 regulating the conditions conferring the rights of an enterprise trade union organization on a trade union organization. The subject of the present study is comparing the previous and new regulations of the aforementioned Article and assessing changes introduced in this scope, as well as establishing, whether the amendments are sufficient in the context of a significant number of micro employers operating in the labour market.
