Abstract:

 Collective bargaining, which means the determination of working conditions through bargaining between the organised structure of employees and employers, was introduced to our law with the 1961 Constitution. However, the 1961 Constitution recognised the right to collective bargaining only for workers. Article 53 of the 1982 Constitution regulates the right to collective bargaining agreement for workers and the right to collective bargaining for public servants. Although there are different approaches to the legal nature of collective labour agreements, the predominant view is that it is a unique private law contract. The legal nature of the collective agreement of public officials has not been emphasised much. The subject has been covered by several authors. There is one author who has taken it broadly and in depth.The Court of Dispute characterises it as a unique administrative act. The Council of State, on the other hand, treats and supervises them as administrative acts without any qualification. In this study, we will focus on the legal nature of the collective agreement. We will try to answer the question whether it is an administrative act or a contract.

 Çalışanların oluşturduğu örgütlü yapı ile çalıştıranlar işverenler arasında pazarlık usulü ile çalışma şartlarının belirlenmesi demek olan toplu sözleşme, hukukumuza 1961 Anayasası ile girmiştir. Ancak 1961 Anayasası sadece işçiler bakımından toplu sözleşme hakkını kabul etmiştir. 1982 Anayasasının 53.maddesi işçiler açısından toplu iş sözleşmesi, kamu görevlileri açısından ise toplu sözleşme hakkını düzenlemektedir. Toplu iş sözleşmesinin hukukî niteliği konusunda farklı yaklaşımlar olmasına rağmen, baskın görüş kendine özgü bir özel hukuk sözleşmesi olduğu yönündedir. Kamu görevlileri toplu sözleşmesinin hukukî niteliği konusu üzerinde pek durulmamıştır. Konu birkaç yazar tarafından ele alınmıştır. Geniş ve derinlemesine alan bir yazar bulunmaktadır. Uyuşmazlık mahkemesi kendine özgü bir idarî işlem nitelemesinde bulunmaktadır. Danıştay ise herhangi bir nitelemede bulunmaksızın idarî işlem gibi ele almakta ve denetlemektedir. Bu çalışmada, toplu sözleşmenin hukukî niteliği üzerinde duracağız. İdarî işlem mi, yoksa sözleşme mi sorusuna cevap aramaya çalışacağız.
