The article deals with the trade unions as a grant to protect the rights and interests of civil servants, reveals the main tasks of trade unions. The activity of trade union organizations in the structure of the state body in Ukraine is analyzed. The legal mechanisms of asserting the violated rights of a civil servant by a trade union organization of a public body and the role of trade unions in protecting the rights of civil servants in developed countries are emphasized. The state at certain times gave the trade unions great powers to protect the rights and interests of workers, and then deprived the trade unions of these powers. In connection with this, various problems arose in regulating the activities of trade unions in the protection of individual and collective rights and interests in the protection of public servants. All this affected the legal status of trade unions. However, it should be noted that trade unions are in constant flux and this leads to improvements in the regulations governing their activities. However, it should be noted that today there are many problems in Ukraine regarding the exercise by the trade union organizations of their powers in the civil service. In particular, the legal status of trade unions in the civil service is not regulated enough, which, in turn, does not allow them to fully protect the legal rights and interests of civil servants. Considering the importance of trade unions in protecting labor rights and the socio-economic interests of workers, in developing democratic forms of citizen participation in managing economic and political processes, a democratic, legal, and social state, which is Ukraine, should support trade unions and take care of legislative consolidation. their authority. Trade unions at all levels should once again return to the consideration of their core functions and pay attention to those that will now be more conducive to the achievement of the main objective of the creation and activity of trade unions – the protection of social-labor rights and interests of trade union members. Today’s Ukraine needs strong unions. A strong union is a union that effectively protects the interests of its members, enjoys their trust and support, is able to organize, if necessary, collective action to protect the socio-economic rights and interests of employees, has sufficient organizational, financial, and human resources to fulfill its statutory tasks. Keywords: trade union organization, protection, rights, the role of trade unions, legal mechanisms.

<p class="p1">The non-strategic role and position of women workers in trade union organization, even in the women-dominated sector, is hardly changed even though the number of women members of trade unions is increasing. Various programs have been carried out to increase the strategic role of women in trade union organizations but so far have not shown significant results. Based on interviews with officers of gender equality programs for trade unions, union leaders and women and men members and literature studies this paper offers an idea of the need for a non-exclusive approach and actively and proportionally involving men in awareness-raising and gender equality programs for trade unions. This idea is based on the fact that in trade unions gender-related program is always left to or only involves women. The strategy in the gender equality awareness and improvement program that only involves women causes the program’s effectiveness to be low because half of the causes of the problem is not involved.</p>

The Right

The paper is devoted to examining some legal aspects of implementation of the right to unionize for individuals employed through the Internet platforms — digital applications that serve as a link between the participant providing the service and its consumer. The emergence of such intermediaries has become a part of digitalization of wage labor characterizing the beginning of the 4th Industrial Revolution. The modern labor market is characterized by instability due to the withdrawal of some sectors of the economy from the traditional Fordist model of labor organization. The instability caused desocialization of workers, their disintegration and had a negative impact on the traditional labour movemen that has always been expressed in the form of trade unions. In this regard, the authors’ objective is to investigate the prospects and legal grounds for creating unions of workers employed through the Internet platforms, as well as the legal specifics of their labor rights protection with due regard to their precarious legal status. To achieve this objective, it was necessary to resolve the issues of expediency, effectiveness of trade union protection of digital labor and the place of trade unions in social and partnership relations with the participation of workers employed through the Internet platforms. The author formulates the conclusion about the effectiveness of trade union protection of labor rights of workers employed through the Internet platforms, provided the socio-partner procedures are employed.

The article deals with the question of the order of improvement and development of the civil service institute as part of the normative settlement of the legal status of a civil servant, the clear attachment of his powers, rights, duties, directions of work. It is noted that the priority of the development of the modern civil service is to clearly define the legal status of a civil servant, determine the basic requirements and competencies, and specify the specific competencies and duties. Contemporary development of our state, active European integration processes and integration of the country into the world community are also impossible without qualified personnel, which are called to implement their own managerial powers and legally defined status. In connection with the foregoing, the personal factor, professionalism and competence of civil servants who are thoroughly aware of the legislative and regulatory acts regulating their legal status and the activities of public authorities are becoming increasingly important. In addition, it is good to understand the main trends of modern state policy, economics, development and law, as well as to have a professional knowledge of specialist knowledge and skills in accordance with the special field, position and function. Only such personnel will be able to effectively fulfill their professional powers, implement the legal status in order to ensure the functioning of the civil service institute and predict the development of political, economic and social spheres, to prevent the use of outdated stereotyped forms of management and to provide targeted public-management activities. At the same time, the growth of new requirements for the role of professionals in the process of state-building needs to improve the domestic model of civil service management, as well as the use of innovative approaches to the development and implementation of typical job descriptions of a civil servant. It is the job description that is the central element of a clear idea of the role and place of a civil servant in the management system. A well-designed typical civil servants instruction guarantees the implementation of a legally defined legal status of a civil servant, as well as a rational and effective performance by the official of his official duties and the provision of high-quality public services to citizens, a clear understanding of liability for unlawful acts or omissions or violations of the established legal restrictions in the civil service. The job description is defined as a document that regulates the organizational and legal status of a civilservant and defines its specific tasks and responsibilities, rights, responsibility for violation of the official discipline, determines the conditions for a clear, coordinated work, knowledge and qualification, the competencies necessary for ensuring the effective functioning of the state service Reconsideration and development, as well as a clear normative settlement of the place and importance of the job description, will eliminate the free treatment of civil servants of their functions and powers, will help directors avoid the need for constant clarification to employees of their obligations, as well as save time when familiarizing each new employee with his tasks and duties. Allow a person who takes an appropriate position to immediately orientate in his legal status.

After the deconstruction of the Italian trade unions which took place in the eighties due to a political anti-trade-unions offensive by the state and enterprises, a careful renaissance of trade union politics has started since the early nineties. This revival is owing to the new production models, on the one hand, which are rediscovering the role of human labour and are therefore opting for a stronger cooperation; on the other hand it is an expression of the opposition against a repetition of the state's austerity policy which fosters the unity of the trade unions.

Legal Position

Before the Trade Union Act 1871 the legal position of trade unions in the United Kingdom was at best ambiguous, as in many ways they remained outside the law. At the same time, Political Economy maintained that, given a country’s stock of capital and the population of workers, any rise in wages would undermine profits and accumulation. This provided the rationale for politicians and industrialists to argue that wages were not negotiable and that collective action was illegitimate. In reviewing William Thornton’s defence of workers’ right to claim higher wages, John Stuart Mill accepted that the denial of the positive effect of trade unions on wages ‘is deprived of its scientific foundation’. Using evidence from debates in the Royal Commission on Trade Unions, 1867-69, this article examines the extent to which Mill’s acceptance of the economic argument in favour of trade-union collective action contributed to improving the legal status and role of unions in wage bargaining and to change in industrial relations.
