The paper provides an insight in the results of the teachers’ survey on their labour rights, which was carried out by the Latvian Trade Union of Education and Science Employees in 2017. The aim of the research was to investigate, how teachers’ rights were protected in educational institutions. Two research questions were defined: 1) what problems teachers face in relation to their labour rights, and 2) what are possible solutions to improve the protection of labour rights at institutional, municipal and the state levels. The mixed method research design was used in the study: focus group discussion was organized with experts from institutions related to educational process and later quantitative survey of teachers was conducted via visidati.lv (n=2055). The results witness that great part of the respondents are not well educated about the labour rights or do not feel support when face violation of their rights. However, many respondents reported on well established practices in their schools as well as support from administration and municipalities.
