Access to labour justice: Comparative law and practice on labour disputes prevention and resolution
The report highlights the commonalities and differences across the legal and regulatory, institutional and procedural frameworks governing dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms in the countries under study.
The primary focus of this report is a comparative analysis of law and regulations, as well as of institutional arrangements and their role in ensuring effective labour dispute prevention and resolution, in law and practice.
It reviews how labour disputes are defined across jurisdictions, their legal and material scope, the mandate and composition of dispute resolution institutions, as well as procedural matters that govern dispute handling —including whether these processes are mandatory or voluntary. As an important element of their effectiveness, the report also addresses how such dispute prevention and resolution institutions contribute to the prevention of labour disputes in the workplace and examines the participatory role of the social partners in their design and operations. In short, the report seeks to contribute to the existing literature at the international level on access to justice by bringing in the labour dimension and the perspective of the world of work.
