  When the Green Deal says we need to rethink policies for clean energy (see economy, industry, production and consumption, large-scale infrastructure, transport, food and agriculture, construction, tax policy, social benefits) what does this really mean for employment? What would it mean for the world of work if employment were to focus on sustainability, climate protection and the common interests of society? What changes would a shift to a greener economy bring about in the labour market? How would it affect already vulnerable groups of workers? One possible answer to these questions already exists: green work, which is the subject of this study.

  The unique purpose and role of trade unions is the protection of the employees’ social and economic interests. As compared to the previous concept, the applicable labour code introduced a conceptually new approach with respect to collective labour law, including the purpose of trade unions, reducing the trade unions’ rights to such a minimum level which shall be generally granted for a civil organization operating in the interest of a certain purpose. In my study, some legal interpretation questions –without the ambition to be exhaustive – that arise in practice come  under analysis, which highlight in a crystal clear manner the question as to what sort of practical issues are raised and interpretation possibilities are opened by certain items of the Hungarian labour law regulation in connection with the legal status of the trade unions and the exercise of their rights.
