Abstract

In this scientific work attention is paid to the protection of the right of a person to work. It is emphasized that this right is one of the fundamental human rights. At the same time, attention is drawn to the fact that today the issue of ways to protect the right to work, in the context of the settlement of labor disputes, remains relevant. The judicial method of resolving labor disputes which is currently available in many countries cannot fully provide an adequate level of protection, in particular due to the overcrowding of the judicial system, which leads to excessive length of proceedings. That is why it is proposed to use alternative methods for resolving labor disputes, such as mediation, arbitration, consideration by specially created commissions. The experience and current state of legislative regulation of the procedure for resolving labor disputes in Lithuania and Ukraine is analyzed in order to develop an optimal model for consideration and resolution of labor disputes.

This research is carried out within the framework of the Joint Ukrainian-Lithuanian Research Project "Strengthening Alternative Dispute Resolution in Lithuania and Ukraine: Finding the Cross-Border Solution".
