What Labour Guarantees Exist for Service Members Returning from Captivity
The newest Union TV episode featuring Labour Initiative lawyers Kateryna Shvets and Alina Antonenko is dedicated to the labour rights and guarantees available to service members returning from Russian captivity.
The lawyers explain that despite the growing number of people affected by captivity during the war, many legal aspects related to employment, reintegration, and social guarantees still remain unclear to workers and employers alike.
In the episode, the LI experts provide a detailed overview of existing labour protections for returned service members. They discuss how employers must preserve positions during captivity, how the period spent in captivity affects seniority calculations, and what recovery and leave opportunities are available after release.
Special attention is paid to the role of trade unions and collective bargaining agreements in strengthening support for workers beyond the minimum guarantees established by law. According to the lawyers, collective agreements can become an important tool for creating additional recovery mechanisms and more flexible reintegration conditions for workers returning from captivity.
