The article analyzes the need for self-defense of workers’ labor rights, arising in connection with the violation of subjective rights and legitimate interests, their abuse, failure to fulfill legal obligations, and the emergence of a dispute between the parties. It is stated that self-defese must first of all presuppose independent lawful actions of the employee to protect his labor rights, and an appeal to authorized bodies and organizations is presented to us in situations where the employer prevents the employee from exercising the right to self-defense. he conclusion is formulated about the need to define and consolidate in labor legislation the procedure for notifying the employer and organizing the implementation of self-defense. In conclusion, it is noted that difficulties in implementing the mechanism of self-defense of labor rights arise due to the lack of a legal definition of the concept of self-defense in the legislation, and the scattered nature of regulatory materials, insufficient regulation of this method in terms of formal procedures, reduces the effectiveness of self-defense as a way to protect the labor rights of workers.
