Labour Arbitration

Labour arbitration is a process used to resolve disputes between employers and employees or their unions. When negotiations fail, they can turn to arbitration, where an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator, listens to both sides and makes a binding decision. This process helps ensure fair treatment and can address issues like contract disputes, working conditions, or disciplinary actions. Unlike court, arbitration is typically quicker and less formal, aiming to reach a resolution that satisfies both parties and maintains workplace harmony. It serves as an important tool for upholding labor rights and fostering constructive employer-employee relationships.
