영국의 노동분쟁 해결 제도에 관한 연구

Labour dispute refers to dispute triggered by disagreement between labour union and an employer or a group of employer on wage, working hours, welfare, lay-off and other working conditions. If labour disputes pursuing the self-settling principle cannot be settled by both parties involved, it causes severe harm to not only both parties but also overall society. In this sense, fair and prompt settlement of labour dispute is very important. Grievance meditation means the dispute is settled by both parties involved as well as by administrative and judicial authorities. National Labor Relations Commission is known as the representative Korean authority to settle the labour dispute. The commission, a quasi-judicial body is responsible for judgement of unfair dismissal and unfair labour practice and arbitration of labour disputes.

Therefore, this research aims to seek after the ways to improve the settlement system of labour dispute and promote effectiveness of them by reviewing and analyzing the system of U.K which has relatively developed settlement system of labour dispute.
