"This paper examines recent developments, the present situation and future prospects for labour law in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is based on findings from a comparative study on the evolution of Czech and Slovak labour law during the period 1995–2005. The paper deals with the most important elements of labour law in the areas of individual labour relations, collective bargaining and employment policy. The main issue examined is the contrast between flexibility and rigidity in labour legislation in two new EU Member States."
