Abstract

After the reforms in Soviet labour law effected by the destalinization policy of Khrushchev and the rationalization brought about by the recodification of 1970, this branch of the law became a milestone of socialist law. In principle, workers were legally protected by the granting to enterprise trade union committees of a number of specific veto rights (concerning, for example, the dismissal of workers or the application of overtime) and by the creation of a system of judicial protection for workers comprising labour dispute commissions in the enterprises and the courts. At least from a formal point of view, the situation was encouraging. The most serious issue of labour law still to be solved was the legal position of the nomenklatura employees.
