Summary/Abstract: This article is devoted to the inter-company trade union organization after the amendment to the Trade Union Act. The inter-company trade union organization is relatively rarely subject of studies in labour law. Usually it is considered that the arrangements made for the company trade union organizations relate also to intercompany trade union organisation. Meanwhile, a more detailed analysis shows that the inter-company trade union organization is characterized by far-reaching specificity, and its regulation based largely on references to regulations governing the legal status of the company trade union organization is not always adequate. This generates numerous practical problems. In this text, the author analyzes several particularly important issues regarding intercompany trade union organization in connection with the amendment to the Trade Union Act, which entered into force on January 1, 2019.
