The Legal Frame of Union Relations
Relations with trade unions in Georgia are written into four norms: freedom of association, the ban on discrimination by membership, the ban on interference in each other's activities, and the information and consultation interface in organizations of 50+. The United States debates around union security and right-to-work have a different context here — the Georgian frame rests on freedom of association and two protective shields.
For an employer these four norms mean four practical rules: do not obstruct the association, do not differentiate by membership, do not interfere in its activity, and — in organizations of 50+ — run information and consultation with the representatives.
