Training on conciliation, mediation, and arbitration
It is in this context that the ILO is organizing back-to-back seminars for those involved in the disposition of labour cases in the Philippines: (i) judges and lawyers from the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals; and (ii) arbitrators, conciliators, and mediators from the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). These sessions provide a comprehensive overview of the international labour standards system and its relevance to settle labour disputes.
The objective of the seminar-workshop is to equip NLRC officials with the knowledge that will enable them to use international labour law sources at the national level.
At the end of the session, participants will: (a) have an in-depth knowledge of the instruments and supervisory machinery of the ILS system; (b) have the knowledge base to use the analysis and pronouncements of the ILO's supervisory bodies that provide an in-depth understanding of the scope and meaning of ILS; (c) be able to determine when and how domestic judges and arbitrators can use international labour law to solve labour disputes; and (d) be able to identify and make use of ILS concerning freedom of association, the right to collective bargaining.
