Abstract
This article describes both the duties and rights of trade unions and employers’ organizations
resulting from the constitutional right to public information, indicated in Art. 61 of the
Constitution of the Republic of Poland. This right allows private entities to exercise control
over the activities carried out by public authorities, as well as real cooperation and dialogue
in public space. Therefore, it is not surprising that the statutory regulation provides for the
participation of social partners in the implementation of this political right. Trade unions and
employers’ organizations are obliged to provide public information and have the right to
access such information. This puts these organizations in a special position, because under
the right to public information, their status seems to be separate from private and public
law entities. At the same time, the position of social partners defined in this way in the
implementation of political constitutional law seems to go beyond the social freedoms and
rights with which their activities are traditionally associated.
