The aim of the survey was the complex examination of the quality of employment among workers aged 15–64. The questions related to trade unions and strike events were asked in this group of employees.

2.4% of the respondents aged 15–64 who answered the basic survey did not answer the supplementary survey Q2 2015.

It can be some difference between the same aggregates of the published absolute numbers due to the weighting and summing up. The evaluation of the distribution ratios was made electronically - without individual correction, so the sum of partial data is not always equal the displayed rounded value of the aggregated data.

The following questions of the questionnaire were linked to the part "Trade unions, strike events":

22. Is there a trade union at your workplace?

23. Are you a member of a trade union?

24. Is there a works council/public employee council or a shop steward at your workplace elected by the employees?

This is an elected organization or person, by which/whom the community of workers can exercise participation rights in labour issues.

25. Is there a safety officer at your workplace elected by the employees?

The safety officer has daily contact with the workers. He/she represents the rights of the employees for the safe and healthy working environments. His/her activity is an important link between the labour safety committee and the workers.

26. Is there a valid collective agreement at your workplace between the trade union and the employer(s)?

Collective agreement can be concluded on the one hand by the employer, the employer's representative bodies, and on the other hand by the trade union or more trade unions.

27. Does the collective agreement between the trade union and the employer(s) affect your wage/salary directly?

28. Does the collective agreement between the trade union and the employer(s) affect your working schedule, working circumstances or any other conditions of employment directly?

29. Did any strike events happen at your workplace in 2014?

Please ignore the threat of a strike event! Please take into account just the actually realized strike events initiated by the workers, which were organized to enforce the fulfilment of any claim or to express their resistance against something. Please answer the question irrespective of the length of the strike event.

30. How long did you not work because of strike events in 2014?

By this question please consider only strike events, on which at least 10 persons participated and which took at least 2 hours.
