| Description | This contribution deals with one of the labour law fields in the period of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia (1939 – 1945), namely the implementation of compulsory labour service and peonage system. In the first part of the article, the author deals with the ideological concept of labour, that means the attitude of the national socialists towards labour and its function in the national society. Further, the situation during the period of the so called Second Republic (October 1938 – March 1939) is described. In that period, we can find certain Nazism tendencies in the labour law. Gradually, the inhabitants of the Protectorate were forced to accomplish community service. Also the compulsory labour service was implemented. The newly constituted employment offices played an important role in this process, because they were the main offices for controlling the labour forces. The last years of the Protectorate period were connected with the so called forced labour – thousands of Czech workers were sent to work in Germany. |
