The transport trade unions strike postponed to 16th June 2011
The strike declared by the Coalition of Transport Trade Unions was banned by a court injunction upon a request from the Finance Ministry. The Court in its decision stated that the strike was declared late and in breach with good manners. The judges applied - according to trade union opinion incorrectly - the Law on collective bargaining, the only piece of legislation governing strikes in the Czech Republic. However, this strike is not within collective bargaining, it is based on the right to strike contained in the Constitution of the Czech Republic.
