cntcrion of mcmbership is not good cnough. In particular cases organisabccs with big mcmbcrship may not bc supported by thc staff or may repftteat thc intercst of a pan ihcrcof. The support of thc cmployccs scems thu a morc appropnatc cntcrion.

3)    The usc of rcprescntanvcncss in bargaining conceming certain coUcctht matters and not using it in other matters (c.g. in collcctivc iabour disputes, a negotiatmg an agreement conceming cmployccs^{1 2} rights in thc cvcnt of tramfen of undertakings, agreement on suspemion of speciftc provision of Iabour law, agreement on dcciding averagc monthly incrcascs in remuneration for a gi\cz ycar) cannot bc understood. A uniform conccpt of rcprcscntativcncss should constantly apply to all cascs whcrc thc principlc of tradc unions² coopcration has not rcsultcd in thc reaching of agreement among tradc unions.

4)    The assumption clcarly visiblc in thc Polish law that conducting of collcctivc bargaining and solving collcctivc disputes hclongs to tradc unioai prcrogativcs whilc workers councils (or other forms of non-union rcprcscau-tion) arc authoriscd to aa with rcspcct to information and consultalioo a basically thc correct one. The lattcr typc of representation consists in thc rccognition of interests which combinc thc workforcc and thc Capital in an undertaking (enterprise) and not thc confrontation of interests typical of trade unions.² So if there is no tradc union representation in an undertaking, h scems not justificd to make it possiblc to a non-union representation to conduct thc bargaining. Instead of it thc workers councils referred to in thc Act of 7 April 2006 on informing and consulting cmployccs. Should te authoriscd to consult thc intcrnal rcgulations nccdod for an undertaking te operate (sueh as work rulcs or pay rcgulations). In undertakings not covtr«d by thc Aa (i.e. employing less than 50 peopk) thc right to consultatio® should bc givcn to thc rcprcscntativc dcctcd folloving thc prooedurc Lui down by thc statutc who ought to bc protcacd against any harassment on thc part of employer.
