| Abstract [eng] |
Content and meaning of mediation as a decisional method of collective labour disputes Living in the modern society, in which market relations predominate, we face different types of conflicts. Conflicts are also characteristic to collective labour relations. These relations are contractual legal labour relations, therefore any dispute arising in the sphere of these relations should be settled by mutual negotiations of the parties. Besides, it is only attempted in Lithuania to legalise one of the most popular peaceful methods for settlement of collective labour disputes – mediation in resolution of collective labour disputes. Through the use of different methods of legal knowledge, the attempt will be made in the theses to reveal the content and meaning of mediation, as the method for settlement of collective labour disputes. To achieve the targeted goal different scientific literature of the Lithuanian and foreign authors will be analysed and compared, as well as the practical regulation of foreign and Lithuanian legal mediation as the method for settlement of collective labour disputes. Thus, the content elements of the examined method will be disclosed and analysed, as well as the features characteristic only for such alternative method of disputes settlement. |
