Abstract

The author analyzes the impact of the draft law «On Labor» on the further precarization of Ukrainian workers and compliance with the terms of the Association Agreement with the European Union regarding labor rights. It’s determined that the provisions of the draft law «On Labor» are a reflection of the distortion of the principles of labor law through the continuous deregulation of labor relations. From one of the most humanistic branches of law, labor law in Ukraine may soon become an operational normative tool for squeezing value added from workers without meeting even the minimum social standards. The draft law «On Labor» is an attempt to partially enshrine the illegal rules that have actually developed in the labor market and which will not have a serious impact on the practice of using hired labor. However, instead of strengthening control over the implementation of current labor legislation and ensuring effective justice in the labor sphere, the domestic government pursues a policy of further precarization of the population through the formal consolidation of unfavorable rules for workers in labor relations. The content of the draft law «On Labor» is directly opposite to the requirements of the Association Agreement, which require strengthening the level of legal protection of the rights and interests of workers. The adoption of the draft law «On Labor» creates serious risks of increasing the precarization of the Ukrainian population and slowing down the European integration process
