| Case study 1: unfairly paid non-resident driver claiming a Belgian-level wage | 1. juhtumiuuring: ebaõiglast palka saav mitteresidendist autojuht nõuab Belgia palgataset |
| Situation: a Portuguese driver is employed in Slovakia, under a Slovak contract, on a monthly pay rate of EUR 500, by a subsidiary of a Belgian road haulage company. | Olukord: Portugali autojuht töötab Slovakkias (Slovakkia töölepingu alusel) kuupalgaga 500 eurot, mida maksab talle Belgia transpordifirma tütarettevõtja. |
| For the last two and a half years, he has been working in cross-border road haulage, carrying out transport operations mainly from Antwerp in Belgium, and delivering goods in Germany, Luxembourg and France. | Autojuht on viimased kaks ja pool aastat tegelenud piiriüleste maanteevedudega, teostades transpordioperatsioone peamiselt Belgia linnast Antwerpenist ning toimetades kaupu Saksamaale, Luksemburgi ja Prantsusmaale. |
| He contacts a local union representative requesting assistance in claiming a wage at the Belgian level. | Ta võtab ühendust kohaliku ametiühingu esindajaga, et Belgia palgataseme nõudmisel abi saada. |
| Driver’s claim: Belgian wage level. | Autojuhi nõue: Belgia palgatase. |
| How can the trade union assist? | Kuidas saab ametiühing aidata? |
| a. Inform the driver of his legal rights; | a. Teavitab autojuhti tema õigushüvedest. |
| b. Seek, on behalf of the driver, an out-of-court settlement with the employer; | b. Üritab autojuhi nimel tööandjaga kohtuvälise lahendi leida. |
| c. Take the company to court. | c. Annab äriühingu kohtusse. |
| Should it opt for a legal action (alternative (c)), the union will have to consider the best legal strategy, by: | Kui ametiühing otsustab õiguslikke meetmeid rakendada (variant c), tuleb esmalt leida parim õiguslik strateegia. |
| 1. Firstly identifying which court is competent | 1. Selgitage välja, milline kohus on pädev |
| Mindful of Regulation (EC) No 44/2001 and the ECJ XXX court ruling, this will be a Belgian court, as Belgium is the most frequent starting point of the driver’s journeys and thus can be considered the driver’s habitual workplace. | Arvestades määrust (EÜ) nr 44/2001 ja Euroopa Kohtu otsust XXX kohtuasjas, on pädevaks kohtuks Belgia kohus, sest Belgia on autojuhi sõitude kõige sagedasem alguspunkt, mistõttu võib seda pidada juhi tavapäraseks töökohaks. |
| 2. Clarify which the best-placed trade union is to provide assistance to the driver | 2. Tehke kindlaks, milline ametiühing on autojuhi abistamiseks sobivaim |
| In this case the answer is the Belgian union, as it has knowledge and experience of the Belgium law and court proceedings. | Antud juhul on vastuseks Belgia ametiühing, kuna see tunneb Belgia õigust ja kohtumenetlust. |
| 3. Check whether the driver is entitled to the right he claims | 3. Kontrollige, kas juhi nõue on õigustatud |
| Mindful of the ECJ ruling on the XXX case, the answer is again yes, as the law applying to his employment contract, and therefore to his pay is that of the country he habitually works in (from), in this case Belgium, in as much as Belgium constitutes the starting point of his journeys. | Arvestades Euroopa Kohtu otsust XXX kohtuasjas, on vastus taas kord jah, kuna autojuhi töölepingule – ja seega tema palgale – kohaldatav õigus on selle riigi õigus, kus(t) juht tavaliselt töötab. |
