Representing a carrier in a collective labor dispute involving more than 400 employees

ARROWS Law Firm represents a major client in the road transport sector in a collective labor dispute in which more than four hundred employees are threatening to file lawsuits.

The dispute is currently in the pre-litigation phase and concerns the interpretation of the minimum wage obligation for drivers enshrined in the public transport contract with individual regions. This public law obligation is now being systematically enforced by the counterparty – a legally represented commercial entity – as a claim in labor relations between employees and the client.

This is a highly sensitive and potentially precedent-setting dispute that requires not only detailed knowledge of labor law, but also the ability to respond to media and strategic pressure from an organized entity acting on behalf of employees.

The team handling this case is led by Mgr. Jakub Oliva, LL.M., MSc., a recognized expert in labor law who has long specialized in collective labor disputes and representing employers in negotiations with trade unions and labor inspectorates.

Also involved in the case are Mgr. Oliver Uraz, LL.M., a specialist in litigation, Mgr. Petr Hanzel, LL.M., who focuses on traffic offenses and IT law, and JUDr. Vladimír Janošek, whose expertise in corporate law and systematic approach to case law provide an important foundation for the client's strategic argumentation.

This is an example of excellent teamwork across professional specializations, aimed at defending the employer's position in an extremely sensitive legal and personnel situation.
