COMPARATIVE LEGAL ANALYSIS OF THE INSTITUTE OF SELF-DEFENSE BY EMPLOYEES OF LABOR RIGHTS IN THE EAEU COUNTRIES

Abstract

The problem of protecting the labor rights of workers definitely attracts the attention of labor /scientists not only within the framework of national legal, but also cross-border legal field. Thus, new issues arise in this area during the unification of labor legislation within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union. If the jurisdictional ways of protecting labor rights are to some extent developed within the framework of the national legal order of the member states of the Union, then the institution of self-defense is deprived of the attention of the legislator in these legal orders. In this regard, it seems important to analyze such a way of protecting rights as self-defense, guided not only by the ideas of the national development of the institute in the legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union member countries, but also its implementation within the framework of Union labor law. This work, as a scientific try to study the institute of self-defense by employees of their labor rights in the countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, takes as its basis a comparative legal scientific method. Applying this method, we can conclude that the legal model of self-defense of employees of their labor rights can be unified due to the uniform understanding of its nature by the legislation of most of the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union. Nevertheless, the defective and obviously insufficient elaboration of the regulation of labor and legal self-defense in the studied legal systems shows a number of practical and theoretical problems that will ultimately affect the consolidation of such a legal model1 within the framework of the Eurasian Union labor law. In this regard, it seems important to present a single legal definition of self-defense, comprising the fundamental features of this method of protection. The adoption of such a term will allow to form a uniform understanding not only among labor scientists, but also among law enforcement agencies, and will serve as a starting point for the further development of the institute of self-defense in the Eurasian Economic Union.
