Familiarity with common legal and workplace terms is important when negotiating labor disputes. Below are definitions of key terms that often arise during negotiations and legal discussions related to employment conflicts.
Collective bargaining is the process where employers and a group of employees negotiate terms of employment, such as wages, working hours, and other conditions. It is a fundamental mechanism for resolving labor disputes and establishing workplace agreements.
Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. It is often used as an alternative to litigation in labor disputes.
A labor contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and employees or their representatives that outlines the terms and conditions of employment, including wages, hours, benefits, and dispute resolution procedures.
Arbitration is a dispute resolution process where a neutral arbitrator hears evidence and makes a decision that is usually binding on both parties. It is a formal alternative to court litigation in labor conflicts.
When addressing labor disputes, parties may choose from various resolution methods including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. Each option has different implications for time, cost, and outcome control.
