The Right to Strike: International and Regional Legal Instruments with Accent of Legislation in Republic of Macedonia
Abstract
The right to strike is a universal democratic right of all employees, regardless of where they are employed: Real or public sector. Depending on the degree of realization of this right in a state, it is accordingly evaluated on the scale of democracy. Therefore, we can say that the right to strike is a fundamental measure of democratic values of a society. There is no real democracy without the right to strike. The right to strike is governed by international legal instruments (acts) of the UN, the ILO and the European Union. In the Republic of Macedonia the right to strike is regulated by the Labour Code and other more specific laws which implement the international standards relating to this right.
Key words: right to strike, conventions, laws.
