Labor Code does not contain the concept of “advice” labor collective" The procedure for the election and competence of this association of workers is also absent from the Code. This article will help you understand what this advice is and why it is necessary.

General provisions

The possibility of creating a labor collective council (hereinafter - STC) is provided for in Art. 21 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which gives employees the right to associate in order to protect their interests. indicates that in social partnerships, in addition to trade union organizations, other representatives elected by employees can act as representatives of workers.

The STC is a self-governing body in the organization that plays the following roles:

  • promotes the unification of employers and employees in achieving common production goals;
  • enables the workforce to express their ideas and proposals regarding the employer’s production and organizational activities, supports and promotes them;
  • increases the transparency of the management system in the organization;
  • ensures protection of workers' rights, etc.

When creating the STC, the charter or regulations of the council are approved and employee representatives who will join the council are elected.

To regulate the procedure for the creation and further functioning of the council, the charter or regulations on the STC are approved. This document should regulate the following issues:

  • goals and objectives of the council;
  • functions (competence) of the council;
  • the procedure for forming its composition, the number of council members, the structure of the body, requirements for the employee representative;
  • rights, duties and responsibilities of members of the STC;
  • rights and responsibilities of organization leaders;
  • the procedure for interaction between the board and management;
  • other provisions.

The council is an elected body, that is, council members are elected at general meetings of the team by secret or open voting.

The structure of the council usually includes:

  • Chairman of the STK - organizes the activities of the council;
  • his deputies assist the chairman, carry out his tasks, and are responsible for the work of the council in the relevant direction;
  • secretary - keeps minutes of meetings, is responsible for office work, keeps records of the performance of duties assigned to them by members of the council;
  • commissions on certain issues (temporary and permanent) - appointed to work in various areas of the organization’s production and economic activities;
  • the remaining members of the council participate in meetings and make decisions on issues brought up for discussion, perform tasks assigned to them by the management of the council, and submit their proposals for consideration by the council.

In the process of elections to members of the STC and to the above positions, the principle of equality must be observed. However, the council should not include:

  • student interns;
  • interns;
  • temporary workers.

The document regulating the activities of the STC stipulates the following rights and responsibilities of the chairman:

  • organization of work on current issues;
  • drawing up a work plan for the STC, which must be approved by the council;
  • organizing the council meeting process, participating in the preparation of issues that need to be resolved at the meeting;
  • issuing operational tasks to council members and monitoring their implementation;
  • ensuring the transparency of the work of the STC and the implementation of council decisions;
  • the right to propose candidates for deputy chairman and secretary;
  • report on the results of the STC activities before the meeting of the labor collective.

Conclusion

The STC is designed to help management solve problems that arise for the enterprise, while ensuring the protection of the rights and interests of employees. The creation of such a council provides many benefits to both employees and the enterprise.

According to labor legislation, employees have the right to create trade unions and associations to defend their interests, protect their rights, and resolve common issues. However, not every company has a representative body of workers; this association is completely voluntary. The Labor Collective Council is one of the types of representative bodies of workers; its activities do not depend on the activities of executive power or local government, employers and their associations. Workers' unions are not affiliated or controlled by the groups listed above.

Labor Council: election procedure and competence

A representative body of employees can be created in any organization: the size of the company, the number of employees, or the form of ownership does not matter. A council can be created not only in an organization, but also in individual entrepreneur, as well as in the branch and representative office of the company.

The procedure for electing a labor council and organizing the activities of a representative body of workers is not regulated by the Labor Code. This procedure remains at the discretion of the workers: they need to do this on their own; to do this, they can adopt a regulation on a representative body (Regulations on the Council of the Work Collective) and establish in it the procedure for electing workers to the council and their activities in the association. To create a labor council or other representative body, workers must hold a meeting.

Thus, the election of the work collective council is carried out by the collective independently and voluntarily. A meeting of workers is organized, and during the meeting, those citizens who will further represent the interests of the group are elected. The choice takes place through voting - it can be either open or secret. The employer cannot influence this activity in any way - neither organize the creation of a council, nor coordinate its creation in any way.

There is no strict list of positions that should be included in the labor council. The composition of the labor council, as correctly, includes:

  • Chairman of the Council - he is responsible for organizing all activities of the council;
  • Deputy chairmen of the council are citizens who are directly subordinate to the chairperson, provide him with support, carry out assignments, and are often responsible for the work of a certain area;
  • Secretary - a responsible employee who keeps minutes of the council of the labor collective (records everything that happens at the meeting), conducts office work of the association;
  • Working commissions (commissions can be temporary or permanent) are usually appointed to work on various areas of the company's activities;
  • Council members take part in general meetings of the council, participate in decision-making on issues that were brought up for discussion by the council, carry out tasks assigned to them by the management of the council, and take initiatives.

The employer is obliged to listen to the opinion of the work council on a number of issues defined labor legislation. Thus, in certain cases, before final approval of a draft local regulatory act, the employer must show it to the association of employees and obtain their consent to adopt this act. Within five days, the labor council must review the submitted project and send its opinion to the employer. If the employer and the employee council do not come to a common decision on the document and cannot agree, the employer can accept it, but employees have the right to appeal it through the court or file a complaint with state inspection labor.

During the period of Soviet power, labor collectives had, at least on paper, fairly broad rights. Currently, their role and importance have decreased, and their rights have become much narrower. Yes, this is understandable: owners and only owners have the right to decide the fate of their means of production, risking their capital invested in production. Employees have their own interests, and often they are directly opposed to the interests of the owners.

A work collective is a voluntary association of hired workers for the joint use of labor at a specific enterprise (organization, institution) on the basis of an employment contract.

Structure of the workforce. A labor collective is not an amorphous association, but an association organized in such a way that it has a real opportunity to solve production, social, organizational and other issues common to all or many of its members.

  1. General meeting of the labor collective. As a rule, the most important, fundamental issues of the life and activities of the work collective fall into his field of vision. If the work collective is large and the convening general meeting difficult due to large numbers or territorial disunity, then meetings can be held in workshops, departments, sections, teams and other units, where issues of interest to all members of the work collective are discussed. The final decision in this case is made by a conference of the labor collective, the participants of which are representatives of all structural divisions labor collective. The procedure for elections and the norms of delegates for it are determined separately. Meetings of the labor collective are convened as needed, usually once or twice a year.
  2. Labor Council (STK)- is a representative body of the labor collective, exercising its powers in the period between general meetings.

    The STC is elected by the general meeting, which determines the size of the Council and its duration. The STC is accountable to the general meeting. All members of the STC perform their duties on a voluntary basis. A member of the STC who has not lived up to the trust may be removed from its membership by the general meeting.

  3. Trade Union Committee. Trade unions are the most massive organization of workers, created to protect their socio-economic and labor rights and interests. Although at present in Russia there is not one, but several trade unions, at specific enterprises, as a rule, there is no such diversity. One trade union, headed by a trade union committee, often represents the interests of all employees of the enterprise. The trade union committee has broad rights.

Unlike the Trade Union Committee, which mainly resolves issues of production and improving the efficiency of the enterprise, the trade union committee carries out protective and social functions(raises questions about increasing wages, improving working conditions, labor protection, social development of the team).

The charter of the enterprise provides for the principles, procedure, terms, powers and other issues of the formation and work of labor collective bodies. The powers of the labor collective are defined in Art. 53 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. It notes that the workforce, regardless of the organizational and legal form of the enterprise:

  • considers and resolves issues of self-government of the labor collective;
  • has the right to make proposals to the management bodies of the enterprise;
  • has the right to receive information from the employer on production issues;

As we see, the role of labor collectives cannot be called significant. However, it will increase only when employees, through a system of participation in the profits of the enterprise (purchase of its shares, bonds), simultaneously become the owners of a part (share) of the capital (property) belonging to the enterprise where they work. Then they will be truly interested in the most effective solution all issues of the life of the enterprise.

If employees are now primarily concerned own destiny and their subject special attention is an increase in wages, then the working owners are by no means indifferent to the interests of the enterprise as a whole, and, as shareholders, they will prefer to invest more in order to receive big income on dividends, rather than constantly and persistently demanding higher wages.

The company's profit sharing system is as follows. A special fund is formed at the enterprise using funds contributed by the enterprise and personnel (employees). These funds are accounted for in personal accounts opened for each member of staff. The amount of contributions made by the enterprise is distributed among employees in proportion wages each of the employees. With these funds, the employee can buy shares, bonds of his enterprise, government bonds, etc., but he cannot simply withdraw them within a specified period.

For purchased securities dividends are credited to personal accounts workers. However, if an enterprise finds itself in a difficult situation, employees will be required to share the risk of losses together with other participants (owners) of the enterprise.

Can a work council and a trade union exist in an organization at the same time if more than half of the employees belong to the trade union?

An organization may have two employee representative bodies, for example, a works council and a trade union or two trade unions.

Legal basis:

Article 52 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that the right of employees to participate in the management of an organization directly or through their representative bodies is regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, constituent documents of the organization, collective agreement, agreements.

According to Article 37 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, representatives of the parties participating in collective negotiations are free to choose issues of regulation of social and labor relations. Two or more primary trade union organizations, collectively uniting more than half of the employees of a given employer, by decision of their elected bodies, can create a single representative body for conducting collective bargaining, developing a single draft collective agreement and concluding a collective agreement (hereinafter referred to as the single representative body).

A primary trade union organization that unites more than half of the organization’s employees, an individual entrepreneur, has the right, by decision of its elected body, to send to the employer (his representative) a proposal to begin collective bargaining on behalf of all employees without first creating a single representative body.

In accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 16 of the Federal Law of January 12, 1996 N 10-FZ “On trade unions, their rights and guarantees of activity,” relations of trade unions, primary trade union organizations and their bodies with other representative bodies of workers in the organization are built on the basis of cooperation. The presence of other representative bodies of workers in the organization cannot be used to impede the activities of trade unions in accordance with the specified Federal Law.

LABOR COUNCIL OR IS IT A TRADE UNION?

IN Lately Some employers are making attempts to replace primary trade union organizations in social partnership with other employee representatives controlled by the employer, in particular the so-called labor collective councils (STK). The actions of employers in such substitution pose a considerable threat. If there is no trade union organization or when the primary trade union organization is weakened, there is no one to protect workers.

WHAT ARE STC AND TRADE UNION AND HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation assigns to trade unions the position and rights of the main representatives of workers and only when certain conditions indicates other representatives. In other words, the legislator provides for the creation of a representative body other than a trade union to represent the interests of workers in a social partnership not arbitrarily at the request of the employer, but only in 2 cases, when:

— the employees of this employer are not united in any primary trade union organizations;

- none of the existing primary trade union organizations unites more than half of the employees of a given employer and is not authorized to represent the interests of employees in social partnership at the local level.

The election of a representative body of employees is carried out at a general meeting (conference) of employees by secret ballot. At the same time, the functions of the STC are unclear, and the powers are insignificant; in addition, the labor legislation does not specify what the STC should be guided by in its activities. Of no small importance is the fact that the STC, being a representative of employees, is not based on membership and is not part of other organizations that have a higher (legal, political, etc.) status, and, therefore, does not have a higher organization. STC is not an alternative to the primary trade union organization and, in accordance with Art. 31 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in its activities does not have the right to replace the primary trade union organization, moreover, the STC cannot be an obstacle to the exercise of its powers by the primary trade union organization. From all that has been said, the question arises: to whom is the STC accountable, to whom is it responsible, who has the right to hold it accountable “for the results of its work”? Formally, the STC is accountable to the general meeting (conference) of employees. But a general meeting (conference) of employees, as a rule, is held no more than once a year. In addition, if employees made the decision to create an STC under the “pressure” of the employer, then they will approve any report in the same way and approve any actions of the STC. Therefore, in fact, there is no one (with the exception of the employer) to demand a report on the activities of the STC.

In their activities, trade unions are guided by legislation and the charters adopted by them. In addition to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law “On Trade Unions, Their Rights and Guarantees of Activities” (taking into account the introduction of the Code), trade unions use the Federal Law “On Public Associations”

Trade unions and their associations independently approve their charters, regulations on primary trade union organizations, their structure, form trade union bodies, organize their activities, hold meetings, conferences, congresses and other events. Whereas it is not clear what the STC should be guided by in its activities.

Only the trade union (and not any other representative body) is vested with the right to monitor compliance by the employer and its representatives with labor legislation (Article 370 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Only a trade union has the right to appeal a local regulatory act adopted by the employer to the state labor inspectorate or to court (Article 372 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Only a trade union (and no other representative body) has the right to go to court in the interests of an employee (Part 1 of Article 391 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Upon termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer, Art. 373 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for taking into account only the opinion of the elected body of the primary trade union organization (the participation of any other representative body is not provided for).

SCREEN FOR EMPLOYER

Based on the analysis of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, we can say that the main purpose of the STC is representation - to represent the interests of workers when concluding a collective agreement and when adopting local regulations. The trade union is also given the function of monitoring the employer’s compliance with the law. The STC represents the interests of workers only at the level of the organization (enterprise), while the trade union carries out the function of representation not only at the level of the organization (enterprise), but also at the state level (in state and municipal organizations). The purpose of trade union representation is to create additional (compared to existing) benefits and services (for social services, social security, additional health insurance, etc.).

A trade union has the right to represent the interests of all employees of an organization (enterprise), and not just trade union members. Why then is it necessary to pile up the institution of representation and create some other representative body of workers in the organization, and not authorize the primary trade union organization to represent the interests of all workers? Most often, this is beneficial for the employer, in order to make his “life” easier, to act on the “divide and conquer” principle. The status of the STC - it is not clear who will be included in the STC often depends on the employer, and if it includes a majority of people pleasing to the employer, then everyone understands what this will lead to. If workers are not satisfied with the current composition of the primary trade union organization, then they have the right to draw appropriate conclusions and re-elect members of the trade union committee (primary trade union organization). If the current trade union committee does not suit the employer, then you need to think before following the employer’s lead and electing the Trade Union Committee, and whether employees generally need such a body created to please the employer. Moreover, for issues that the STC, as a representative body of workers, has the right to consider, the competence of the trade union is significantly narrower.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation defines situations when an employer, when making a decision, must take into account the opinion of a representative body (for example, Article 136 when approving the form of a pay slip, Article 190 when approving internal labor regulations, etc.), and when - a trade union body (for example, Article 74 when introducing a part-time regime, Articles 99 and 113 when attracting overtime work and to work on weekends and non-working days holidays, Article 123 when approving a vacation schedule, Article 135 when adopting a local regulatory act establishing a wage system, etc.).

Fundamentals of Russian law

From the analysis of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation it follows that in cases where the code requires the opinion of a representative body to be taken into account, the interests of workers can be represented by both the STC and trade unions. In those cases where the Labor Code of the Russian Federation obliges the employer to take into account the opinion of the trade union, the opinion of the STC is not taken into account. Thus, if an organization does not have a trade union body, but has a labor union, some of the issues that could be resolved with the participation of trade unions will be decided by the employer alone. This reduces the level of protection for workers.

Trade union organizations have resources that other employee representatives do not have. It is necessary to understand and remember that the employer, thanks to the creation of such a body as the STC, can, under the guise of a collective agreement, impose a legal fiction on workers that does not guarantee anything other than what is already guaranteed by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Labor Council

Question:
What legal status general meeting of the institution’s employees and the institution’s labor council? What is their competence, the procedure for forming and organizing activities?

Answer:
The general meeting of the organization's employees is vested with fairly large powers in the field of social partnership. Let's look at the main ones.
According to Art. 31 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Labor Code of the Russian Federation) in the event that the organization does not have a primary trade union body, or it does not unite more than half of the organization’s employees, the general meeting of employees has the right to elect another representative (representative body), who is entitled to represent the interests of employees in social partnership .
The general meeting of workers has the right, if none of the primary trade union organizations or, in aggregate, the primary trade union organizations that wish to create a single representative body, unite more than half of the organization’s employees, to determine the primary trade union organization, which, with the consent of its elected body, is entrusted with sending the employer a proposal for the beginning of collective bargaining on behalf of all workers. In cases where such a primary trade union organization has not been determined or the organization’s employees are not united in any primary trade union organizations, the general meeting of workers by secret ballot may elect another representative (representative body) from among the workers and vest him with the appropriate powers (Article 37 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ).
In accordance with Art. 384 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the general meeting of workers elects representatives of workers to the commission on labor disputes or approves representatives elected by the representative body of workers. The general meeting of employees has the right to decide on the formation of commissions on labor disputes in the structural divisions of the organization.
In collective labor disputes, the general meeting of workers approves the demands put forward by the employees or the representative body of the organization’s employees (Article 399 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
According to Art. 410 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a meeting of workers decides to declare a strike.
As for the labor collective council, the Labor Code does not contain any mention of such a body. This body was mentioned in the previously effective Labor Code of the Russian Federation (see Art. 227, 235.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
However, if the labor council meets the criteria of Art. 31 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (elected by secret ballot at a general meeting of workers, consists only of employees of this organization), it is a representative body of workers. Please note that the presence of another representative cannot be an obstacle to the exercise of their powers by primary trade union organizations.
The employer is obliged to create conditions that ensure the activities of employee representatives in accordance with labor legislation, collective agreements, and agreements (Article 32 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Let's consider the powers of the workers' representative body.
The representative body has the right:

- for joint development with employers and employees of measures to protect personal data of employees (Article 86 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- to submit to the employer an application for violation by the head of the organization, the head of the structural unit of the organization, their deputies of labor legislation and other acts containing norms labor law, conditions of the collective agreement, agreement (Article 22, 195 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- to appeal to state labor protection authorities to carry out state examination working conditions (Article 216.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- to participate in the commission to investigate industrial accidents (Article 229 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- to put forward proposals for the creation of committees (commissions) on labor protection and a commission on labor disputes (Articles 218, 384 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- to put forward a requirement to the employer (Article 399 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

- to lead a strike (Article 411 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- to maintain documentation when resolving a collective labor dispute (Article 418 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws and other regulatory legal acts, collective agreements, agreements, the employer adopts local regulations taking into account the opinion of the representative body (Article 8 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, with mandatory consideration of the opinion of the representative body:

- a list of positions for workers with irregular working hours is established (Article 101 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

- specific amounts of wage increases for workers engaged in heavy work, work with harmful and (or) dangerous and other special working conditions are established (Article 147 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
- specific wages are established on weekends, non-working holidays, and for night work (Articles 153, 154 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

As for the procedure for forming and organizing the activities of the general meeting of workers and the council of the labor collective, these issues are not directly regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, employees must determine this themselves. The procedure for making decisions by the general meeting is established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation only for certain situations (see, for example, Article 410 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
