20.500.12556/RUL-144119 Collective redress and workers' rights in Slovenia In 2017, the Collective Actions Act introduced a new type of lawsuit – the collective action – into the Slovenian legal order. A collective action can be lodged in cases of instances of so-called ‘mass harm’, including mass violations of workers’ rights. This could improve the effectiveness of enforcement of workers’ rights in practice. Instead of a number of individual labour disputes concerning the same or similar violations of workers’ rights, a collective action can be lodged by trade unions or other representative collective actors in this field. Both opt-in and opt-out approaches are possible and the decision on this is left to the discretion of the court. Despite many positive aspects, only one collective action in the area of labour rights has been lodged to date. In this contribution I analyse legal regulation of the existing collective redress mechanism and possible reasons for deficiencies discerned in its functioning in practice. collective redress collective action enforcement of workers’ rights opt-in/opt-out system labour disputes labour rights Slovenia true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2023-02-01 14:28:28 2023-02-01 14:28:31 2023-02-03 03:14:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 Str. 475-491 iss. 4 Vol. 12 Dec. 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 349.2(497.4) 2031-9525 10.1177/20319525211056618 87373827 20319525211056618.pdf 20319525211056618.pdf 1 A0670752BA83F0FFFE8331DF505F471A 9ae9a559b4fbf660da74f9e7fb55ae533aa844d983f443eddd8a65c2f23c92d8 47dc1a04-a234-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=166272 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/20319525211056618 0 1ac9ed8a-a234-11ed-9c94-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=166271 Fakulteta za socialno delo 0 0 0
