No 60, Research Reports from Central European Labour Studies Institute (CELSI)

Abstract: The introduction and application of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and more particularly, the protection and processing of workers’ personal data has been receiving increasing attention in Hungary, including industrial relation actors. The new rules on GDPR directly affect the data processing practices of employers and trade unions; they inform and set new conditions for the operation of both parties in industrial relations. Yet, as consultation and social dialogue regarding the introduction of new technologies, the protection of personal data of workers, or the processing of workers’ personal information is legally in the domain of works councils and not trade unions, collective bargaining - as the central institution of industrial relations - could not tackle issues related to the protection of workers’ personal data. The report is based on online and offline interviews with sectoral trade union representatives, online surveys with company level trade union and works council representatives, online sources, as well as secondary sources, studies, reports and analyses on GDPR, industrial relations and labour law in general.
