Abstract

The paper analyzes the situation in the craft and craft´s legal regulations, in the period from the beginning of the XIX century to the 30s of the XX century, i.e. until the adoption of the Yugoslav Law on Actions. At the beginning of the 19th century, the patriarchal spirit ruled in the craft; a quasi-family relationship was established between the masters and the students. Craftsmen provided themselves protection from competition through associations in guilds and its tradition rules. In the middle of the 19th century, the Decree on Guilds was passed, which regulated labor relations in crafts and trade. At the end of the 19th century, due to the increased import of goods, the situation in the craft has changed, patriarchal relations were disturbed, and there was general dissatisfaction among the workers. Therefore, a huge action was taken for the modern regulation of labor relations, which came in 1910, with the adoption of the Law on Actions. But, despite the modern legal regulation of labor relations, the factual situation in the craft has not changed. Therefore, the paper will point out the basic reasons for the decline of the craft, as well as the normative attempts to save it.
